35Cultivating Practical Wisdom as EducationEducational Philosophy and Theory 46 (14): 1541-1553. 2014.This article argues, from a critical realist perspective, that it would be beneficial to extend thinking on how personal and social education could become more central to students’ learning.

Our theorizing is informed by neo-Aristotelian thinking on the importance of identifying mutually acceptable value commitments which can cu…Read more
