Emociones & Educación. La construcción histórica de la educación emocional(Emotions & Education. The historical construction of emotional education) is publishedat just the right time. Emotions are in fashion and are claiming a privilegedplace both in everyday life and in the field of social research as well. In this book,Agustín Escolano Benito centres on an often disregarded and postponed subject,providing a fertile ground for new discussions.This study has a clear continuity with the Spanish professor?s latest works on schoolculture and the particular emphasis he places on materiality. Emotions are an excellentexcuse for Escolano Benito to continue debating with the analysts of the past who rejectempirical evidence and are inclined towards idealism (p. 20), as well as with those obsessedwith logocentric interpretations (p. 53).
