Deweyan Prophetic Pragmatism, Poetry, and the Education of Eros.
Garrison, Jim
American Journal of Education, v103 n4 p406-31 Aug 1995
Discusses the education of Eros and the allied powers of poetry and prophecy, and argues that poetic creativity and the capacity to prophesy students' best possibilities should be recognized as essential teaching competencies. The author identifies the theme of Eros and education in the work of John Dewey and explores Thomas Alexander's idea of "the Human Eros." (GR)
