Overview
- Invites alternate pedagogical approaches of an ontological nature on teaching that has, to date, been centered primarily on particular epistemic grounds and pragmatic ends
- Seeks to form a pedagogical bridging between Eastern and Western thoughts, juxtaposing the complex thoughts of Heidegger, Dewey, and Lao Tzu through “direct” conversations
- Author has coined the word, “en-teaching” to the idea of how teachers can teach through paradoxically non-teaching, without implying a binary opposition between teaching and non-teaching

About this book
Based on the intertwined complex conversations among Heidegger, Dewey, and Lao Tzu, this book explores the possibilities of the Taoist Pedagogy of Pathmarks as a clearing between truth and untruth, responding to the spiritual call of Tao as inaction and teaching as releasement. In this book, Yu provides a critical exploration of the rich dynamics in the “direct” conversations among the three great thinkers of east and west, highlighting the implications of their ideas for education throughout. As more educational researchers, teacher educators, and teachers recognize the limitations of didactic teaching-as-telling, the author brings an alternate pathway to light.
