In the process, it bridges disciplines that often remain disconnected - most notably analytic philosophy and the social sciences - and offers a novel critique of citizenship and moral education, "identity politics", and other contemporary domains of inquiry. Although the book has a multi-disciplinary focus, it is philosophical in its overall orientation (but accessible to readers from outside philosophy) and educational in its mission (but of interest to readers who are not formally educators). Chapters 2-5 discuss the philosophical and (where appropriate) scientific dimensions of identity, chapters 6-7 explore its socio-cultural dimensions and chapter 8 examines its educational dimensions and implications. The book will be of particular interest to those researching or teaching civics, citizenship education and moral education, as well as those involved in cultural, political and religious studies in a broader sense. It will also appeal to anyone who finds him- or herself wondering about the state of the world in the Twenty-First Century, and who suspects that rethinking what it means to be a person in that world might not be a bad idea. 606 $aEducation?Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy and social sciences 606 $aEducational Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O38000 606 $aPhilosophy of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E25000 615 0$aEducation?Philosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy and social sciences. 615 14$aEducational Philosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Education. 676 $a107 676 $a370 676 $a370.1 700 $aSplitter$b Laurance J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01225788 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484453603321 996 $aIdentity and Personhood$92846003 997 $aUNINA
