Such attempts to make all aspects of practice transparent and subject to systematic accounting lack sensitivity to the invisible and the silent, to something in the human\u003cbr\u003econdition that cannot readily be expressed in an either-or form. Seeking alternatives to such trends, Saito reads\u003cbr\u003eDewey's idea of progressive education through the lens of Emersonian moral perfectionism (to borrow a term coined by Stanley Cavell). She elucidates a spiritual and aesthetic dimension to Dewey's notion of growth, one considerably richer than what Dewey alone presents in his typically scientific terminology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Gleam of Light: Moral Perfectionism and Education in Dewey and Emerson \u003ci\u003eis available from the publisher on an open-access basis.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNaoko Saito\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Education, University of Kyoto.
