In this book, Clifford Mayes and his associates take archetypal pedagogyâa Jungian approach to teaching and learningâand extend it beyond just the âeducational processesâ that take place in classrooms, which are those spaces that a culture dedicates to the generation and acquisition of codified scholastic knowledge. It looks at the archetypal dynamics of teaching and learning as fundamental to human existence itself. From the cradle to the grave, we are involved in informing and shaping the worldviews of others, just as they are involved in impacting ours. Deep relationship, an I-Thou relationship not only allows but requires this to be the case so that the discussants can become what Martin Buber called âdialogical partners,â engaged in both mutual critique and mutual affirmation, as they reach knew planes of knowledge and even presence. Such teaching and learning are what Mayes calls âeducative acts.â This book explores educative acts in a wide range of venues and concerning a variety of issues. |
