A marvelous help in creating a teaching philosophy

This short book is a lucid explanation of what existentialism is and how Existentialism As A Philosophy has four chapters clearly explaining the chapters showing what learning would be like for students who had a teacher using an existentialist educational philosophy. Any teacher-probably grades 5 through college-either using or planning to use a participatory classroom, will find reading this book a useful, exhilarating experience. I know I did. I read it in fall 1969 and found that it helped shape my final 19 years teaching during my 33-year career teaching high school American Studies (American literature and American history). If I ever meet the author, I'll give him a huge hug and a sincere "Thank you!"
