Summary: "Addressing specific questions of what should be learned, the nature of the learner, and the learning process, Learning to Learn offers a fresh perspective on basic issues in philosophy of education. The special thrust of this book is to establish a theory of cognitive activity before taking up issues of curriculum and human nature. The author's approach, which is grounded in the insights of Michael Polanyi, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and the later Ludwig Wittgenstein, focuses on learning as mediated through tacit and participatory processes in relational contexts."--Back cover.
