Description

Product Description New Perspectives in Philosophy of Education seeks to build a bridge between philosophical reflection and socio-political action by developing a range of critical discussions in the areas of ethics, politics and religion. This volume brings together established authorities and a new generation of scholars to ask whether philosophy of education can contribute to political and social discourse, or whether it is destined to remain the marginal gadfly of mainstream ideology. The philosophy of education stands in danger of becoming a neglected field at precisely the moment we need to be able to reflect upon the increasingly apparent costs of the technocratic attitude to education. While many of the educational policy discussions of recent years seem far-reaching and radical, critical debate surrounding these initiatives remain largely at a populist level. New Perspectives in Philosophy of Education provides contemporary responses to philosophical issues that bear upon educational studies, policies and practices, contributing to the debate on the role of philosophy of education in an increasingly fractured intellectual milieu. Review This is an interesting collection of new essays on different aspects of the philosophy of education. The three sections of the book, Ethics, Politics, and Religion provide the reader with a balanced presentation and fresh interpretation of key contemporary issues. It is valuable also in that it allows younger academics to make a contribution to the field. The format, content, and general style of the book make it particularly suitable for a student readership and for others without advanced knowledge or training in philosophy. This is important given the relative neglect of the philosophy of education in the contemporary formation of young teachers. --W.
