The Common Vision: Parenting and Educating for Wholeness presents the teachings about child raising and education of Rudolf Steiner, Sri Aurobindo Ghose, and Hazrat Inayat Khan. The book reveals the powerful similarities among these three teachings, which together describe a common vision of human nature and human growth from birth to age twenty-one. This common vision provides parents with a profound understanding of children as whole beings and of their capacities and needs physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It offers teachers and parents a detailed description of what children need in their schooling at various ages if they are to grow into wholeness and manifest their potential.

Review
David Marshak's pioneering, highly original study introduces some of this century's most astute explorers of the human spirit, whose insights pose radical questions about modern understandings of education. This book provides a much needed counterpoint to the reductionistic thinking that influences most educational theory and practice today. -- Ron Miller, Founding Editor of Holistic Education Review and Great Ideas in Education
In The Common Vision, David Marshak reminds educators that our task goes beyond the transmission of information and cultural values to our students. Dr. Marshak provides three inspirational examples in which teaching is about modeling, forming meaningful relationships, and providing an environment where each child can unfold and flourish. In the midst of our elaborate process of educational reform, we need to hold onto this profound message. -- Alice Leeds, Multiage Elementary Teacher, Lincoln, Vermont
