Jackson and the Practice of Teaching (2007).

[Wim Wenders's Road Movie Philosophy] is written in service of the resuscitation of our culture and the reclaiming the role of art. It reminds me why it is meaningful to watch films, especially those that are related to one's life as quest. This is undoubtedly a book that contributes to what Cavell calls philosophy as the education of grownups. It is an encouraging and inspiring call to teachers and students who are in search of the meaning of life.
