This new collection of texts on education-many of which were previously published in a volume entitled Soka Education-is the result of a selection of works written by Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhist philosopher and founder of the Soka school system, over the course of nearly five decades. The texts, which range from educational proposals and university lectures to personal essays, not only delve into the meaning of soka education (education for the creation of value), but offer a hope-filled view of the power of education to bring happiness to people and bring about world peace.
