Gordon Flagg American Library Association. ltReviewThis Nobel acknowledges what weve long sensed to be true that Mr. Dylan is among the most authentic voices America has produced, a maker of images as audacious and resonant as anything in Walt Whitman or Emily Dickinson. Dwight Garner, *The New York Times* The Nobel Prize in Literature confirms his status as something more than a songwriter of a kind with those who preceded him. For those who follow him closely, savoring his witticisms, poignant observations and the unexpected word at precisely the right time, the acknowledgment is long overdue, with all respect to Messrs. Murakami, Roth, Sondheim and others. Sentence by sentence and verse by verse, Mr. Dylans body of work is worthy of maximum celebration. Jim Fusilli, *The Wall Street Journal* The Nobel committee got this rightDylans ongoing achievement in American song is a literary feat to celebrate in this gaudiest of ways. Rob Sheffield, *Rolling Stone* He was the rebel, the healer, the bard in blue jeans and oversized shades who sang a generation through war and peace, past the perils of unrest and self complacency. . . . And now Dylan has entered that pantheon, shoving against the boundaries of the definition of literature just as he pushed past so many borders in music. Carolyn Kellogg, *Los Angeles Times*

Author: Michael A. Peters File Type: pdf This edited collection takes a multifaceted approach to the various limitations and achievements of Western philosophy. Considered on its own, Western philosophy is a highly contentious name. The contributors question its validity as a label and take to task its grand appearance within education. However, part of the problem with Western philosophy is that it has less conventional as well as dominant manifestations. The writers consider both forms of Western philosophy,devoting significant thought and time to it in its own right, but always referring it to the more specific issue of education. This book adds to a growing corpus that sketches the relationship between education and philosophy, showing that they are deeply intertwined, and it is indeed philosophy (and especially its Western variation) that supports Western education and allows it to flourish in the first instance. It is fitting, then, that at various points this book depicts education as a hegemonic vehicle of a deeper phenomenon that of dominant Western philosophy. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Philosophy and Theory. **About the Author hr Michael A.
