Book Description

080209449X 978-0802094490 March 17, 2007 2nd

Holistic education is concerned with connections in human experience - connections between mind and body, between linear thinking and intuitive ways of knowing, between individual and community, and between the personal self and the transpersonal self.

First published in 1988, The Holistic Curriculum examines the philosophical, psychological, and social foundations of holistic education, outlining its history and discussing practical applications in the classroom.

This revised and expanded second edition concisely describes how holistic thinking integrates spiritual and scientific perspectives, drawing on romantic, humanistic, and other radical alternatives to the atomistic worldview of the modern age. The role of the teacher, the issue of accountability, and strategies for implementing the Holistic Curriculum are also discussed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed reading what i saw, August 30, 2011


It is quite refreshing to read something that pertains to man's inner nature. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the Book. I don't know why Miller did not use quotes from the Bahai Writings. The Bahai Writings have various eloquent quotations that support Miller's views.
