Philosophical Documents in Education (4th Edition)
( The introduction to the fourth edition of Philosophical...)
The introduction to the fourth edition of Philosophical Documents in Education asks the simple question, what does it mean to be educated? That simple but profound inquiry is answered throughout the anthology’s 16 chapters by both classical and contemporary educators, progressives, and philosophers. Driven by the idea that students can better understand and practice their profession by reading, contemplating, and discussing philosophical and historical literature, this collection of primary sources exposes readers to a wealth of ideas regarding teaching, learning, schooling, and instruction — from ancient texts to modern selections.

Discipleship or Pilgrimage?: The Educator's Quest for Philosophy (Suny Series, Philosophy of Education)
(This interpretive history and critique of educational phi...)
This interpretive history and critique of educational philosophy offers a reexamination and reconstruction of John Dewey's vision. "Tony Johnson's book contains an explosive thesis: that philosophers of education make assumptions about knowing, learning, and the value of professionalism that are self-defeating and educationally destructive. In delineating these ironies, Johnson deepens the critique of the professionalized, departmentalized university. I commend this book to your close attention." -- From the Preface by Bruce Wilshire, author of The Moral Collapse of the University Discipleship or Pilgrimage? is an interpretive history of the field of educational philosophy--what it's been, where it is now, and what it ought to be. Implicit in Johnson's analysis is the belief that educational philosophy will not survive much longer. For educational philosophers to become significant players in the reconstruction of our educational system, they must focus on the classroom, both as instructors in the university classroom and as members of teams preparing prospective teachers. By focusing on the educational philosopher as pilgrim--as an educator engaged in an unending quest for meaning--the author suggests that it is not too late to reconstruct the field. "In my judgment, the author delivers a scathing, yet well intended indictment of what the field of philosophy of education has become. At the end he offers us a vision of how the field might repair itself. His ideas are both accurate and insightful."-- Philip L. Smith, The Ohio State University School of Education
