Recensioner i media

“It discusses a number of concepts that are often used in schools, such as ‘care’, ‘community’, ‘person’ and ‘dialogue’. The value of the book is that it gives these terms substance and shows how these principles are interconnected. … the merit of his book is that it does not take for granted that schools exist, and in this way, it invites all of us to think these questions through for ourselves.” (Wouter Sanderse, British Journal of Educational Studies, November, 2018)
