This book, edited by Professor Randall Curren and just published by Taylor and Francis, collates a range of chapters pertaining to the philosophical underpinnings on education.
The book has 35 chapters organised into 4 parts. As provided by the abstract:
Part one covers the fundamental questions on aims of education, the role of values and questions on human cognition, learning, well-being and identity. Part two brings chapters related to 'virtues of mind and character' with a focus on educational formation of various attributes. The third part, education and justice, covers the important aspects of educational justice to support equity of access. The last pear collates chapters around educational practice.
The context for almost all the chapters is on the formal education sector but chapters provide good grounding, definitions and discussion on the fundamental frameworks and philosophical grounding for all sectors of education.
