Philosophy of Education: An Anthology brings together the
essential historical and contemporary readings in the philosophy of
education.
* * The readings have been selected for their philosophical merit,
their focus on important aspects of educational practice and their
readability.
* Includes classic pieces by Plato, Aristotle, Isocrates, Locke,
Rousseau, Mill, and Dewey.
* Addresses topical issues such as teacher professionalism and
accountability, the commercialization of schooling, multicultural
education, and parental choice.
"Philosophy of Education: An Anthology is a major contribution to philosophy of education. There are now quite a few large volumes on the subject. All have their virtues, but none of them lend themselves easily to introductory and mid-level courses in philosophy of education. This new anthology, edited with wisdom, judgment and deep knowledge of the field by Randall Curren, is perfect for this purpose. In virtue of its excellent content, range, accessibility, and flexibility, it will quickly become the standard anthology for the field." Harvey Siegel, University of Miami
RANDALL CURREN is Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Professor of Education at the University of Rochester, NY, and has held research professorships at the University of Birmingham and the Royal Institute of Philosophy in the UK. He is the author of 120 publications in philosophy of education and related areas of philosophy, and is a recent past editor of the journal Theory and Research in Education.
