Summary:

In Western society, early childhood education is under increasing scrutiny as early education is becoming integral to economic growth and development. This scrutiny, however, is diminishing the concern for the role of ethics and social participation in education. Inspired by contemporary French philosopher Paul Ricoeur's work on narrative identity, this book analyzes the way we become who we are, offering innovative perspectives on education and on the nature of our 'selves.'
