Description

"The first collection on "curiosity studies," an interdisciplinary conversation about what curiosity is and what resources it might hold for human and ecological flourishing. The collection includes essays spanning the humanities, social sciences, and hard sciences, including philosophy, history, literature, ethnic studies, education, anthropology, sociology, psychology, ecology, biomedicine, neuroscience, and visual art. Organized into four parts -- scientific inquiry, educational practice, cultural awareness, and transformative power -- this collection provides a transdisciplinary lens by which to investigate the value of curiosity and its inherent risks"--
