Philosophy of Education Today
An introduction
P HIGGS & J SMITH
Questions about the nature of educationare the concern of a particular area of philosophy: philosophy of education. In Philosophy of Education Today the authors explore the various responses provided by different philosophies of education to these questions, and discuss the way in which different philosophies influence education and the ways education is understood. A new chapter on Critical realism has been added to the second edition.
The interactive nature of the text encourages readers to reflect critically on the various philosophies of education discussed and to come to an understanding of what education might mean to both them and their community.
