Education Ethics and Experience

Education Ethics and Experience is a collection of original philosophical essays celebrating the work of one of the most influential philosophers of education of the last 40 years. Richard Pringâs substantial body of work has addressed topics ranging from curriculum integration to the comprehensive ideal vocational education to faith schools professional development to the privatisation of education moral seriousness to the nature of educational research. The twelve essays collected here explore and build on Pringâs treatment of topics that are central to the field of philosophy of education and high on the agenda of education policy-makers. The essays are by no means uncritical: some authors disagree sharply with Pring; others see his arguments as useful but incomplete in need of addition or amendment. But all acknowledge their intellectual debt to him and recognise him as a giant on whose shoulders they stand. This book will be a welcome and lively read for educational academics researchers and students of Educational Studies and Philosophy. . Language: English
