Bøger af Harvey Sarles

In this rapidly changing world of global media and ideas, Harvey Sarles attempts to extend our thinking to all people(s) and offers us ways to think about being and meaning. Sarles looks at how to approach one's own mind and mindful habits in our various contexts of thought and being, and offers us new directions toward our future thought and being; hopefully increasing our sense of our possibilities of growth toward fulfilling thought and a meaningful existence.

This second edition of Teaching As Dialogue (first published in 1993) shares with the reader nearly half a century of Professor Sarles' experiences and reflections on the art of teaching. Coming from a background of anthropology and concerned with language and dialogue, Harvey Sarles offers the reader his insights into the importance of the role and personality of the teacher in relation to students as persons with futures. Presented as a series of anecdotes and personal reflections, Teaching As Dialogue provides an invaluable resource for student teachers and experienced teachers alike, or anyone interested in education and the dynamics of the learning environment.

Nietzsche's prophecy has come to haunt us in our day, says cultural critic Harvey Sarles. The postmodern age is a completely unscripted era, a time that has no generally recognized framework for meaning, when even the search for meaning itself is called into question. Using poetically phrased aphorisms, Sarles probes the many ways in which we currently grope for meaning, emphasizing that answers and even a sense of direction seem unavailable in the current social and historical moment. He examines not only the what but also the why of meaning, explores how this crisis developed, and offers some paths for resolution. Among the many contemporary trends, he sees a new and emergent form of Pragmatism, which may portend a positive and progressive future. Published by Trébol Press www.trebolpress.com

In the Foundation Project, Professor Harvey Sarles prepares the ground for an anthropology of the ordinary. In this work, Sarles provides us with a collection of thoughts and aphorisms that challenge the received wisdom and commonplace assumptions regarding human nature and the human condition, mind and body duality, meaning, metaphysics, language, morality, truth, society, religion, democracy, ageing, and the ideal.
