Key Concepts in the Philosophy of Education (Paperback)

Philosophers from Plato onward have attempted to define education, although their numerous writings on the subject have not always been very accessible. For those who want to find a way through, this book is the answer, offering a clear and lively survey that guides the reader through the key terms and concepts and opens up the relevance of the subject for today. Over 150 concepts are described and analysed, and, together with an extensive bibliography, the work provides an unparalleled guide and reference resource.
