This book weaves a path through traditional answers. We live well, suggests the author, not primarily by pursuing goods for ourselves, but by cherishing other people and guiding them towards lives of cherishing. We cherish objects too - the planet, my grandfather's watch - and practices like music-making to which we are personally drawn. In this work of 'populated philosophy' (copiously illustrated by literary and 'real life' examples), a cherishing life is presented as hard and irreducibly individual. The idea of cherishing, says the author, points towards intimate, unreasonable layers of the ethical life, as well as the deepening of wisdom and connection. It also points towards incomparable satisfactions, reminding us who we are and who we want to be."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Bloomsbury philosophy of education.Children and philosophyEducationPhilosophyPhilosophy & theory of educationChildren and philosophy.EducationPhilosophy.370.1Cigman Ruth1951-1068320UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910511367603321Cherishing and the good life of learning2552918UNINA
