Features: "Teaching: The Implied Meaning of Educational Wisdom" can serve as a classic in the field of education while avoiding being entangled in various traditional and modern educational theory terms. It is an excellent book of interest to education experts and scholars, ordinary teachers, child psychology workers, parents, and adults closely related to the growth of the younger generation. The authors, using their unique phenomenological research methods and keen educational experience, draw on the life experiences of teachers, parents, and students from the perspective of "phenomenological pedagogy." The novel educational ideas and concepts proposed in this book, such as "pedagogical tact," "the teacher-replacing-parent relationship," "the emotions of education," "the experience of educational life," "the experience of students' subjectivity," and others, have attracted widespread attention and interest in the field of education and academia. In North America, where utilitarianism and pragmatism prevail and the term "pedagogy" based on responsibility and mission is still unfamiliar, this book has sparked a "pedagogical fever."
