With eleven new contributions, this second edition of essays on the
sources and principles of Dominican values in education offers an
extended sample of the many settings in which Dominican education,
broadly understood, finds expression. Cherished by all Dominicans, these
values are exemplified not only in the lives of well-known foundational
Dominicans, but also in some of those many others who, on every
continent and across time, have responded in typically Dominican ways at
key moments in history. Educators, activists, philosophers, teachers,
preachers, artists, healers and theologians at many levels share their
analyses and reflections on educating in many different contexts,
explicitly and implicitly demonstrating ideals and values common to the
goals of Dominican education everywhere. It is hoped that this
collection, offered again in this decade of Dominican Jubilee--1206-1216
to 2006- 2016--will inform, inspire and encourage all those engaged in
the great work of educating not only youth but people of all ages
towards greater life and liberty.
