Abstract

This article examines Daisaku Ikeda’s (1928–) educational philosophies of human education (ningen kyoiku), human revolution (ningen kakumei), and creative coexistence (kyosei), as well as the mentor and disciple relationship undergirding them and his founding of the international Soka schools. The author considers these philosophies in response to John Dewey’s The Need for a Philosophy of Education and in anticipation of the symposium, “Reuniting Parker, Dewey, Makiguchi and Ikeda: Education for Community and Citizenship across Language and Culture,” to be sponsored by the Francis W. Parker School and the School of Education at DePaul University and to be held on March 26, 2011, at the Francis W. Parker School in Chicago, Illinois.
