{"product_id":"9780190858971","title":"A Way of Music Education: Classic Chinese Wisdoms","description":"Moving back through Dewey, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Rousseau, the lineage of Western music education finds its origins in Plato and Pythagoras. Yet theories not rooted in the ancient Greek tradition are all but absent. \u003cem\u003eA Way of Music Education \u003c\/em\u003eprovides a much-needed intervention, integrating ancient Chinese thought into the canon of music education in a structured, systematized, and philosophical way. The book's three central sources - the \u003cem\u003eYijing\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eThe Book of Changes\u003c\/em\u003e), Confucianism, and Daoism - inform author C. Victor Fung's argument: that the human being exists as an entity at the center of an organismic world in which all things and events, including music and music education, are connected. Fung ultimately proposes a new educational philosophy based on three key ideas in Chinese thought: change, balance, and liberation. A unique work, \u003cem\u003eA Way of Music Education\u003c\/em\u003e offers a universal approach engrained in a specific and ancient cultural tradition.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119852536048,"sku":"9780190858971","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780190858971_p0.jpg?v=1763659892","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780190858971","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
