Against Spiritual Education.
Blake, Nigel
Oxford Review of Education, v22 n4 p443-56 Dec 1996
Maintains that spirituality, by reason of its very nature and essence, is antithetical to the goals of state education. Argues that efforts to define spirituality as separate from religion are disingenuous and driven by a specific political agenda. Discusses the conflicting goals of spirituality and secular institutionalization. (MJP)
