Routledge Political Philosophy and Educational Leadership Book

Expand your understanding of school management with Political Philosophy, Educational Administration and Educative Leadership. Written by Reynold Macpherson, this text introduces a politically-critical theory of educative leadership designed for the practice, research, and theory of educational administration. This book provides a new line of inquiry for those studying educational leadership. It is organized into four distinct parts that bridge the gap between political philosophy and the field of educational management. By clarifying the knowledge domains of these disciplines, Macpherson helps readers understand how different political ideologies impact leadership roles. Readers will examine how four specific ideologies - pragmatism, communitarianism, communicative rationalism, and egalitarian liberalism - function within the context of educational administration. This work is an essential resource for academics and practitioners looking to integrate political theory into their approach to leadership and management.
