Publisher's Summary:
This is the fourth edition of the classic best-selling textbook that guides students through the elementals of the philosophy of education, exploring key concepts and encouraging the development of philosophical thinking. Looking at issues surrounding our notions of culture, creativity, autonomy, indoctrination, needs, interests and learning by discovery, the text also tackles a number of probing questions on the nature of education and the ways in which it is practised today.
