"The philosophy of education encompasses problems from many
areas of philosophy -epistemology, philosophy of mind,
professional ethics, and the theory of distributive justice, to
name just a few - and the essays in this useful volume
accurately reflect the field's breadth. Randall Curren has done an
excellent job of enlisting accomplished and influential authors as
contributors. His Companion will set the standard, both as a
teaching tool and as a first source of information, for years to
come." George Sher, Rice University
"Randall Curren has put together an extraordinarily
comprehensive collection of essays on the philosophy of education.
It should be of value to anyone interested in contemporary issues
or historical figures in the field." Catherine Elgin, Harvard
Graduate School of Education
