hi all
the discussion is getting interesting
a good paper by alasdair macintyre....
how about the term WISDOM EDUCATION NETWORK (WEN)
to describe what we stand for if and when it gets slightly more formalised
as an educatinal network... each member / correspondent will of course be
active in their own node of activity and specialist area of research /
teaching
but what we are all commited to is the vision of a deeper kind of education
than normal - a wisdom education !
the acronym also spells when - meaning - how long o lord do we have to wait
for a return (progression) to this deeper kind of learning ???
but WEN is broad enough to include everybody on board and yet make a very
simple and direct statement of intent
just a thought
