Glorious Enchantments.
Bowles, Steve
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v11 n4 p15-17 Win 1994
Discusses the philosophical importance to adventure education of enchantment, ecstasy, and the mystical. Argues against a positivistic approach. Recommends the works of Eric Shipton and Bruno Bettelheim. Suggests that adventure education theorists must give thought to the existential and phenomenological aspects of the social worlds if adventure education is to get the respect it seeks. (RAH)
