Desire and Human Flourishing
This book discusses the concept of desire as a positive factor in human growth and flourishing. All human decision-making is preceded by some kind of desire, and we act upon desires by either rejecting or following them. It argues that our views on and expressions of desire in various facets of life and through time have differed according to how human beings are taught to desire. Therefore, the concept has tremendous potential to affect human beings positively and to enable personal growth. Though excellent research has been done on the concepts of flourishing, character education and positive psychology, no other work has linked the concept of desire to all of these topics. Featuring key references, explanations of central concepts, and significant practical applications of desire to various fields of human thought and action, the book will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of positive psychology, positive education, moral philosophy, and virtue ethics.
Transcending the eternal debate between traditional and progressive education
The present volume explores the ideological divide in education between traditional and progressive education. An introductory chapter explores the broad outlines of the debate with an emphasis on discourse in the public sphere. Further chapters explore specific aspects of the divide such as the philosophical underpinnings of each camp as well as some of the main arguments in favor of and against some of their central tenets. The volume explores a challenging topic with the goal of constructive scholarly dialogue in order to increase understanding about some of the big questions in the field and to build bridges across ideological borders.

També hi són les de Torras i Bages (enfrontada a la de Balmes), Llorens i Barba, Menéndez Pelayo, etcètera. Però la de Balmes destaca pel lloc que ocupa. Com és ben sabut, els murals actuals van ser pintats en temps de la dictadura de Primo de Rivera per tal de substituir els frescos noucentistes de Torres García, poc reeixit a l’hora de mostrar la naturalesa essencialment espanyola de l’esperit català i de les contribucions que aquest havia fet a la Nación. Doncs bé, avui, quan ...
