Why a "Romantic" Conception of Education Matters
Halpin, David
Oxford Review of Education, v32 n3 p325-345 Jul 2006
Romanticism's valuing of love and the life of the imagination, combined with its belief in human potential taken heroically to and beyond its limits, provides a way of addressing differently and fruitfully certain issues to do with pedagogy in schools, making in particular better sense of what it means to be an effective teacher and a productive learner in such contexts. (Contains 5 notes.)
