- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Parker Palmer offers a sensitive and brilliant critique of the tendency to use education as a tool for mastery, manipulation, and control, instead of a way to form relationship and respect. I admire Parker's depth and personal honesty.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The way in which we know things—our epistemology—matters. If we view the world objectively, as an object to be categorized and filed, we do damage both to the world and to ourselves. True knowing "requires the knower to become interdependent with the known" (32).Parker Palmer, author and educator, develops his philosophy of teaching in To Know As We Are Known."To teach is to create a space in which the community of truth is practiced" (xii).Teaching has to be more than the passing down of objective facts. Genuine teaching brings learners into a community where they interrelate in faithfulness to the subject. Palmer even offers some practical advice for teachers to transition in this direction.Stories are important for Palmer. A film about the nuclear weapons program, the account of a desert father, and the confrontation between Jesus and Pilate are all illustrative fuel that Palmer uses to flesh out his ideas.To Know As We Are Known is an important book for both teachers and students that challenges the epistemology of the Enlightenment.
