This title offers the most coherent account of Owen's educational thought. Robert Owen is indisputably a major thinker in education. Bob Davis and Frank O'Hagan's volume offers the most coherent account of Owen's educational thought. This work is divided into: Intellectual Biography; Critical Exposition of Owen's Work; and, The Influence and Relevance of Owen's Work Today. This title comes from a major international reference series providing comprehensive accounts of the work of seminal educational thinkers from a variety of periods, disciplines and traditions. It is the most ambitious and prestigious such project ever published - a definitive resource for at least a generation.

'Robert Owen provides a penetrating and compelling account of the influence and relevance of Owen today, an ambivalent legacy' as Davis and O'Hagan argue, balanced between a new world utopianism and Scottish Enlightenment rationalityThis is an excellent, thought-provoking and exciting introduction to the education thought of Robert Owen, one of the most remarkable reformers of the industrial age and one of its most impassioned educational thinkers.' Michael A. Peters, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
