Professor J. Valentine Rice, erstwhile Chair of Education at
Trinity College Dublin (1966-2005) to whom this volume of essays is
dedicated in memoriam, engaged in the richness and diversity of
education debate during the thirty-nine years that he held his
academic post. His interests in the philosophy of education,
Catholic education, human growth and guidance and the Irish
language and culture are reflected in the essays by his former
colleagues and students presented here. Whether it is the teaching
of Irish, the involvement of the churches in education, the points
system or the managerialism and "edunomics" of the universities,
educational debate is vigorous and often passionate. The diversity
of the themes of the contributions seems, on a first viewing, to
indicate the lack of a common theme. On closer reflection, however,
Val Rice's lifelong commitment to a view of education that must
always be broad enough to encompass the many ways in which it aids
genuine human flourishing, shines through. These essays are
examples of the ways in which colleagues and students have
responded to his influence as teacher, mentor, advocate and friend
as they continue to work and engage in the broad field of
education.
