Description - The Philosophy of Education by Paul Hirst

In the last forty years the philosophy of education has become established as a distinct area of philosophical study concerned with educational thought and practice. Twentieth century Analytic Philosophy prompted the emergence of a philosophy of education as a seperate subject and inspired a continuing centrality of approach to it: the analytic tradition. The work collected here represents the major ideas and arguments which have come to characterise philosophy of education and in relation to which contemporary work is now developing. It also includes work from the perspectives of Marxism, phenomenology, feminist theory and critical theory, among others. For those engaged in research in the philosophy of education, as well as those in the broader field of educational studies and educationally-oriented policy studies, this comprehensive collection offers a gateway to an influential body of work, providing an essential map of seminal writing within the analytic and intersecting traditions.
