Rezensionen

"Dialogue in science means that discourses open up to one another, take notice of one another and write into one another. With this book, Waldorf education for the first time comprehensively takes note of educational research and relates to it. The reception of Waldorf pedagogy in educational science could and should now equally deal with the contemporary discourse of Waldorf pedagogy instead of handing down Waldorf pedagogy as a draft of classical reform pedagogy."

--Till Sebastian Idel, Professor of Educational Science with a focus on School Pedagogy and General Didactics, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany

"Waldorf education remains a highly popular educational approach and its presence around the world is still growing. While there is much enthusiasm for the practice of Waldorf education, the theoretical underpinnings are less known and are often considered to be controversial. The chapters in this book make a major contribution to the exploration of the theoretical background of Waldorf education and do so in conversation with contemporary educational thought and scholarship. This is a major step forward in the scholarly discourse about Waldorf education and an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of what Waldorf education is about and what it has to offer to the world of today."

--Gert Biesta, Professor of Educational Theory and Pedagogy, University of Edinburgh, UK & Professor of Public Education, Maynooth University, Ireland
