About this book
Reviews
“This book could not have come at a more crucial time. Against the glut of information, Dr. Dillon gently reminds us all that teaching’s true purpose is wisdom and wisdom requires a real teacher and an intimate community of learners. Through the example of Socrates himself and his dialogues—each one skillfully applied to a contemporary psychological issue—Dr. Dillon deftly guides teachers toward their most important vocation: facilitating students’ critical thinking and deep learning.” (Jeffrey Reber, Associate Professor of Psychology, University of West Georgia, USA, and co-author of “Critical thinking about psychology: Hidden assumptions and plausible alternatives”)
