- Summary:
- Reconsiders the philosophical destiny of educationThis volume collects some of the foremost voices in contemporary thought to think through this question from their unique perspectives. Revealing the contentions and possibilities of a new engagement with the question of education, it provides fresh insights into education: what it is, what it is not, and what is to be done about it.At a time when education is so important as to be considered an essential human right yet is under attack from funding cuts, government policies and fundamentalists, this book will open the thinking on education onto new and important territory.ContributorsKeith Ansell-PearsonA.
