Description
First published in 1977, Philosophy and Practical Education attempts to relate philosophy with education. It deals with themes like school, discipline, authority, curriculum, subjects, autonomy etc. to 1) discuss topics which are necessarily of direct practical concern to teachers and educators; 2) to showcase that an increase in our conceptual clarity suggests, fairly unambiguously, certain kinds of practical action; and as 3) they have not been properly dealt with in existing philosophical literature. This book is an essential read for educators, teachers, and curriculum developers.
