Summary

Now in its third edition, this text is a classic in its field. It shows, first and foremost, the importance of the philosophy of education in educational debate and as a preliminary to any practical activity such as teaching. Barrow and Woods discuss various aspects of education and their relative importance--the concept of knowledge in planning curricula, indoctrination and rationality, self-determination, learning by discovery, and the elements of creativity and culture in schooling. This edition includes a new preface and two completely new chapters. This title available in eBook format. Click here for more information.Visit our eBookstore at: www.ebookstore.tandf.co.uk.
