Chapter 2 Whole Child Development as a (W)Holistic Response ‘And so we may venture to assert that anyone who can produce the perfect blend of the physical and intellectual sides of education and apply them to the training of character, is producing music and harmony of far more importance than any mere musician tuning strings.’ Plato, The Republic, book 3, part 3, p. 117 ‘My final word on holism in education, therefore, is to suggest that educators might consider their deep work as taking care of the health of their student’s souls, even as they focus on learning and knowledge.’ Thomas Moore, in: International Handbook of Holistic Education, 2019, p. 56
