Soka Education: For the Happiness of the Individual: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Soka Education: For the Happiness of the Individual" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

From the Japanese word meaning to create value, this book presents a fresh perspective on the question of the ultimate purpose of education. Mixing American pragmatism and the Buddhist philosophy of respect for all life, the goal of Soka education is the lifelong happiness of the learner. Rather than offering practical classroom techniques, this book speaks to the emotional heart of both the teacher and the student. With input from philosophers and activists from several cultures, it advances the conviction that the true purpose of education is to create a peaceful world and to develop the individual character of each student in order to achieve that goal. This revised edition contains four new chapters that further elaborate on how to unlock self-motivated learning and how to empower the learner to make a difference in their communities and the world.
