This book explores empowerment as a key component to peace education, delineates the difference between effective and ineffective approaches to empowerment, and offers a philosophical and pedagogical approach to dynamic and evolutionary empowerment practices.

With a focus on fairness, peace practices, and constructivist approaches to education, this is an essential text for educators seeking to ensure praxis of philosophy through critical reflection.
