Beskrivning

The studies of philosophy and history of education are under siege. These studies do not attract large grant funds and, to many, do not seem useful, even while much of educational research is dismissed as inconsequential or self-evident and the crisis in American education deepens. Philosophy and history of education have therefore been pushed to the margin--or beyond--in colleges and schools of education, commensurate with the "decline of the humanities" in higher education generally. Philosophy and History of Education examines the complex relationship between these studies, and the value of these related studies for improving educational knowledge, policy, and practice. From diverse perspectives, the philosophers and historians in this volume explore how bringing these disciplines together yields insights about unacknowledged or occult aspects of education problems that neither could achieve on their own.

Recensioner i media

Whilst a relatively short book (147 pages), this is not a book meant for a quick read. Instead, it is a book to return to again and again, with little intellectual treats and bon mots found in unexpected places. . . there is much in this book to recommend it, not only to those engaged in either of these fields of study, but also to postgraduates and undergraduates looking to justify theoretical studies for dissertations.
