Reihe: Routledge Key Ideas in Education

This volume encapsulates the essence of Rabindranath Tagore’s philosophy, democratic ideas, and cosmopolitanism, and how these ideas relate to his pioneering experiments in education. Perhaps best-known outside of India as the first non-European person to receive a Nobel prize, Tagore’s unique ideas about education are expressed across many articles and essays throughout his life. This book interprets key aspects of Tagore’s overall philosophy of education, a distinctive aspect being his blending of ancient traditional wisdom with modern scientific inquiry. In this volume Ratna Ghosh considers how Tagore’s ideas have influenced and expanded her own thoughts on “education,” underscoring the price of ignore and lack of liberty, and the significance of inclusion and cosmopolitanism. The author also explores how Tagore’s ideas apply to the complex and urgent problems of contemporary education. Tagore and Education is a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate-level courses in educational foundations, philosophy of education, multicultural education, social justice education, and comparative education.
