Education and Philosophy by Ansgar Allen
An intro-level textbook that provides a core understanding of often difficult philosophical concepts in relation to Education."Education and Philosophy" accomplishes a rare featIt provides a lucid, accessible and comprehensive introduction to the long traditions of education and philosophy and their co-implication, as well as to philosophy of education. An exciting and provocative reading of education and philosophy, it offers a diagnosis of our contemporary educational ills, arguing that the current state of education is a symptom of the crisis of modernity, whilst refusing a nostalgic return to the past. This book constitutes a major contribution both to philosophy of education and to philosophy, which so often today forgets its intimate relationship with education.
-- Aislinn O′DonnellWhilst Allen and Goddard take educational and philosophical ideas from the past and present and make them feel satisfyingly like our own, their genius is in making us uncomfortable about how easily such ideas satisfy us. Education and Philosophy should be praised as a rare and necessary act of educational insubordination.
-- Maurizio Toscano
Comprising an outstanding reach and depth of scholarship, original and provocative insights, and a writing style that deals with its necessary complexities clearly without ever becoming unnecessarily complicated, there is little else like this book. -- Emile Bojesen * Educational Philosophy and Theory *
