Abstract

[This chapter argues that the educational and social initiatives of the Hizmet movement are best understood as fundamentally oriented to the cultivation of the intellectual and moral virtues in the context of service to humanity. It explores the educational philosophy of Hizmet schools as focused on the pursuit of enlightened wisdom and moral character development. The virtue of hospitality shapes the dialogical approach and ethos of these schools. Such a conception fosters a strong emphasis on integrated learning, linking of liberal education and democratic citizenship, and the development of civic polity centered on civility and dialogue as central to public discourse.]
