| The Inwardness of the Outward Gaze: Learning and Teaching through Philosophy
Does learning about philosophy help teachers and writers better understand their work? Author Philip Vassallo thinks so. THE INWARDNESS OF THE OUTWARD GAZE emerges from Vassallo's experiences as a college writing professor, corporate consultant, doctoral student, and freelance writer. Vassallo begins with a prologue describing how writing teachers and writers may integrate their reading and living experiences to realize their inner voice. The first major section, "Foundations," is a collection of 11 essays discussing great ideas from Western educational philosophy. It will provide new writers and writing teachers with a basis from which they may ground their learning and teaching strategies. The middle section, "Considerations," offers two essays to provide an assessment of the writing teaching profession. The final section, "Applications," offers three practical approaches for the writing teacher: in integrating the personal and professional, in dealing with administrators, and in teaching students. Students and teachers of writing, novice and accomplished writers, and lovers of learning will find something of their own ideas in Vassallo's--and they'll be sure to discover an idea or two along the way.
