Produktbeschreibung
Philip Kitcher's The Main Enterprise of the World offers a sweeping vision of the goals of education. Kitcher considers the ways in which educational institutions should advance their goals, explores the social changes required to make high-quality education available to all, and argues that these reforms are economically sustainable. By tying education to the strengthening of both individual lives and the foundations of democracy, he offers a humanistic rethinking of what education should try to achieve. Drawing on those who have written deeply on education, Kitcher offers an extensive reconsideration of how institutions may respond not just to the twenty-first century economy, but to the need for human flourishing.
