Education and philosophy :

Allen, Ansgar

Education and philosophy : an introduction / Ansgar Allen and Roy Goddard - London : Sage, c2017. - vii, 232 p. ; 25 cm.

Philosophy is vital to the study of education, and a sound knowledge of different philosophical perspectives leads to a deeper engagement with the choices and commitments you make within your educational practice.

This introductory text provides a core understanding of key moments in the history of Western philosophy. By introducing key transition points in that history, it investigates the plight of present day education, a period in which the aims and purposes of education have become increasingly unclear, leaving education open to the rise of instrumentalism and the forces of capital.
