520 $aHaving spent forty years teaching education and philosophy at Harvard, and publishing widely on these topics during this period, Israel Scheffler has now written a more personal book, looking at education through the prism of his own early experience, primarily of religious learning.
520 8 $aThe book consists mainly of portraits of his early teachers, most of whom belonged to a transitional generation of immigrant Hebrew scholars - unsung heroes of Jewish education on the American scene.
520 8 $aThrough the medium of such portraits of teaching personalities and styles, as well as firsthand descriptions of various educational settings in the New York City of the 30's and 40's, he comments on aspects of immigrant life, the tensions between religious and secular worlds, the psychology of learning and teaching, the relations between universalism and particularism, the contrasts between intensive education and instrumental schooling, and related themes. These themes, although exemplified in the details of his own experience, are of quite general significance.
520 8 $aThe book will be of special interest for those concerned with Jewish life, with religious education, with the immigrant experience and with the recent American past.
