Rezensionen

"This Handbook is a much-needed contribution to philosophy of education. The authors are top-rank philosophers and educators and, coming from ten countries, they provide a global account of the field. The chapters connect the core issues to twenty-first century social, political, cultural, and educational realities and debates, and are informed by the best current political, moral, and social philosophy, as well as contemporary philosophy of science and philosophy of mind."

Michael R. Matthews, University of New South Wales.

"This new handbook is a must have for academics, students and professionals in education. It is well balanced in every way: it addresses philosophical foundations and education practices and does so from various major philosophical paradigms; it is written by established academics and newcomers, who expertly address questions that have been drawing our attention for a long time and new educational challenges."

Doret de Ruyter, University of Humanistic Studies

"Randall Curren's latest anthology continues his remarkable record of field-defining collections. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Education is chock-full of authoritative articles, written by a veritable Who's Who of first-rate philosophers of education and general philosophers, on topics both perennial and contemporary. This volume will help define and advance the field in the coming decades."

Harvey Siegel, University of Miami

"This is a magisterial overview of the state of play in philosophy of education. The 35 essays Curren has commissioned from leading figures in the field offer incisive new treatments of foundational questions about the aims, distribution, content, and conduct of education. The volume is, moreover, the first of its kind to give centre stage to the burgeoning interest among philosophers of education in virtue ethics and virtue epistemology, and to the need for a global perspective on problems of educational justice. An indispensable collection."

Michael Hand, University of Birmingham

"This volume contains a set of brilliant essays by leading philosophers on fundamental questions about education. From freedom of speech issues on campus to the question of who should pay for college, to the role of parents in educational decisions concerning their children, this volume will stimulate discussion and provide new insights on a set of issues of importance to us all."

Debra Satz, Stanford University
