Compare Critical Conversations in Philosophy of Education by Wendy Kohli, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Critical Conversations in Philosophy of Educationpresents a series of conversations expressing many of the multiple voices that currently constitute the field of philosophy of education. Philosophy of education as a discipline has undergone several turns-the once marginal perspectives of the various feminisms, critical Marxism, and poststructuralist, postmodernist and cultural theory have gained ground alongside those of Anglo-analytic and pragmatic thought. Just as Western philosophers in general are coming to terms with the "end of philosophy" pronouncement implicit in postmodernism, so too are philosophers of education faced with similar challenges-challenges to long-held moral, political, aesthetic and epistemological commitments. The contributors take up these challenges through a dialogical structure, expressing differing positions without engaging in destructive critique. | Critical Conversations in Philosophy of Education by Wendy Kohli, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
