Summary:

"This volume offers a detailed interpretation 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 examines Tagore's philosophy of education as a whole. In this volume, Ratna Ghosh considers how Tagore's ideas have influenced and expanded the author's own thoughts on "education," underscoring the price of ignore and lack of liberty, and the significance of inclusion and cosmopolitanism. The author also considers how Tagore's ideas apply to contemporary education, including exploring what they can teach us about critical multicultural education, democratic education, equity, and social justice. 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"-- Provided by publisher.
