Based on the intertwined complex conversations among Heidegger, Dewey,
and Lao Tzu, this book explores the possibilities of the Taoist Pedagogy
of Pathmarks as a clearing between truth and untruth, responding to the
spiritual call of Tao as inaction and teaching as releasement. In this
book, Yu provides a critical exploration of the rich dynamics in the
"direct" conversations among the three great thinkers of east and west,
highlighting the implications of their ideas for education throughout.
As more educational researchers, teacher educators, and teachers
recognize the limitations of didactic teaching-as-telling, the author
brings an alternate pathway to light.
