Oxford Political Theory presents the best new work in contemporary
political theory. It is intended to be broad in scope, including
original contributions to political philosophy, and also work in
applied political theory. The series contains works of outstanding
quality with no restriction as to approach or subject matter. The
series editors are Will Kymlicka, David Miller, and Alan Ryan. Any
liberal democratic state must honour religious and cultural
pluralism in its educational policies. To fail to honour them would
betray ideals of freedom and toleration fundamental to liberal
democracy. Yet if such ideals are to flourish from one generation
to the next, allegiance to the distinctive values of liberal
democracy is a necessary educational end, whose pursuit will
constrain pluralism. The problem of political education is
therefore to ensure the continuity across generations of the
constitutive ideals of liberal democracy, while remaining
hospitable to a diversity of conduct and belief that sometimes
threatens those very ideals. Creating Citizens addresses this
crucial problem. In lucid and elegant prose, Professor Callan, one
of the world's foremost philosophers of education, identifies both
the principal ends of civic education, and the rights that limit
their political pursuit. This timely study sheds light on some of
the most divisive educational controversies, such as state
sponsorship and regulation of denominational schooling, as well as
the role of non-denominational schools in the moral and political
development of children.
