About the Author


"Developing the Whole Student: New Horizons for Holistic education in not only creating and assessing specific curricula in the holistic educational tradition. The author accomplishes this by using an idea that goes back in the West as far as Plato, and Lao Tzu in the Eastern tradition. It is certainly present in Spinoza and Schopenhauer. It is called a "holarchy." The idea of the holarchy is key to integrative curriculum theory, which like Mayes' previous works, aims at the development of the whole student in cognitive, emotional, cultural, ethical, and ontological domains.

In this seminal book, Mayes charts new territory for holistic education only creating and assessing specific curricula but in generally theorizing the curriculum. This greatly enhanced subtlety and scope for holistic education matters greatly at a time when "scientistic," "technist," and "corporatist" views and interests have commandered education in the U.S., reducing students to mere "human capital." Mayes fiercely resists all of that and invites us to catch even higher vision and world-historical purpose for holistic education." --On Back Cover
