This collection aims to explore different conceptions of
epistemological inquiry and their influence on pedagogy and the
curricular content of primary and secondary education. It is
arguable that curriculum policy makers have continued to subscribe
to a foundationalist paradigm of rational educational planning.
This is, however, considered largely untenable by educational
philosophers in light of the impact of 'postmodern' philsophical
critiques on the notions of objectivity, truth and authority in our
claims for knowledge. This volume fills a major gap in the current
literature of educational philosophy by calling for the
establishment of a coherent route between rational foundationalism
and intellectually promiscuous postmodernism in order to address
the point and purpose of contemporary education.
