This volume completes G H Bantock 's comprehensive study of
educational thought, and its relationship to the broad development
of European culture, from the time of the Renaissance to the
present day. During the period under consideration, the new freedom
from dogma and hierarchy allowed for the emergence of a large
number of models of education intended to accommodate the
autonomous personality and at the same time to meet the demand for
educational expansion. The need to educate the masses was
increasingly recognized, and the dilemma posed by mass civilisation
and minority culture became acute as liberal autonomy was
increasingly threatened by new egalitarian and collectivist
notions. The author considers the work of key theorists from the
period, including such writers as Coleridge, Nietzsche and Tolstoy,
all relatively neglected as educationists.
