It is imagination, says Maxine Greene, that opens our eyes to worlds beyond our experience - enabling us to create, care for others, and envision social change. In "Releasing the Imagination," this renowned educator and philosopher reveals the critical role of imagination in cognitive and other modes of learning. Ruminating on themes such as literacy, the arts and aesthetics, pluralism, multiculturalism, and the tensions and passions of caring, Greene carefully considers both the realities of hard economic times and the human requirement for expressiveness.
