Education, Liberal Democracy and Populism: Arguments from Plato,
Locke, Rousseau and Mill provides a lucid and critical guide
shedding light on the continuing relevance of earlier thinkers to
the debates between populists and liberals about the nature of
education in democratic societies. The book discusses the
relationship Rousseau and Plato posited between education and
society, and contrasts their work with the development of liberal
thinking about education from John Locke, and John Stuart Mill's
arguments for the importance of education to representative
democracy. It explores some of the roots of populism and offer a
broader perspective from which to assess the questions which
populists pose and the answers which liberals offer. The book makes
a substantial contribution to the current debate about democracy,
by emphasising the central importance of education to political
thought and practice, and suggests that only an education system
based on liberal democratic principles can offer the possibility of
a genuinely free society. This book is ideal reading for
researchers and post-graduate students in education, politics,
philosophy and history. It will also be of great interest to
Educational practitioners and policy makers.
