Viele Trainer pflegen noch immer einen vortragslastigen Unterrichtsstil. Doch die Hirnforschung zeigt: Richtiges Lernen findet nur statt, wenn die Teilnehmenden durchgehend aktiv ins Geschehen einbezogen sind. Der 4-C-Unterrichtsentwurfsprozess ist eine Möglichkeit, Seminare "hirnfreundlich" zu gestalten. Die Autorin erklärt, wie der Prozess im Detail funktioniert, und liefert zahlreiche Beispiele für die konkrete Umsetzung im Seminaralltag. Ein spannendes, praxisbezogenes Buch für alle, die an der effektiven und effizienten Vermittlung von Wissen interessiert sind

What is the nature of the fundamental relation we have to ourselves that makes each of us a self? To answer this question, Charles Larmore develops a systematic theory of the self, challenging the widespread view that the self’s defining relation to itself is to have an immediate knowledge of its own thoughts. On the contrary, Larmore maintains, our essential relation to ourselves is practical, as is clear when we consider the nature of belief and desire. For to believe or desire something consists in committing ourselves to thinking and acting in accord with the presumed truth of our belief or the presumed value of what we desire. Larmore develops this conception with frequent reference to such classic authors as Montaigne, Stendhal, and Proust and by comparing it to other views of the self in contemporary philosophy. He also discusses the important ethical consequences of his theory of the self, arguing that it allows us to better grasp what it means to be ourselves and why self-understanding often involves self-creation. Winner of the Académie Française’s Grand Prix de Philosophie, The Practices of the Self is that rare kind of lucid yet rigorous work that transcends disciplinary boundaries.
