To a Teaching

To a Teaching takes the Tractatus Logico- Philosophicus as the model for this impassioned, pedagogical manifesto.

For the educator, parent, or creative practitioner, this remarkable text by Steiner-Waldorf teacher and writer Michael Higgins will change your perspective on child-centred learning.

At once philosophical treatise and free verse poem, To a Teaching is the fruit of thirty years of learning, beautifully elucidated in the shape of this ekphrastic and compelling paean to childhood ¶

“Higgins’ extraordinary book offers a comparably absurd juxtaposition, one in which Wittgenstein, Rudolf Steiner and the author’s own voice compete with the vibrant background serenade of education, music and meaning.”
