Herein, one of our most eminent philosophers of education outlines a democratic path forward through the dizzying array of existential threats currently facing contemporary democratic societies. One of the book's most valuable features is a series of chapters detailing how the school might – and surely must – reinvigorate its role as a vehicle of citizen formation 'across the curriculum'. It should be essential reading for students, teachers, parents, policy makers, and all concerned citizens.'

Educating for Democracy shows how students can prepare for the responsibilities of 'the most important office in a democracy' – that of a citizen. Education can provide students with the dispositions and skills needed to exercise their role judiciously and responsibly, as a patriot who cares about democracy and as a custodian who cares for democracy. These two aspects of caring call for curriculum-wide reform. The outcome of this reform is a patriot who serves as custodian of democratic culture, where commitment and competence, heart and mind, love and intellect, are brought together for the sake of democratic renewal. While nations, as both instruments and proximal objects of care, have an important role to play in this renewal, the ultimate aim is the care and cultivation of a democratic culture.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
