Philosophers and Kings examines how the theme of 'education for
leadership' has developed, changed and declined in English
secondary education during the twentieth century. Once celebrated
as an authentic and distinctive English tradition, education for
leadership has fallen into decline and disrepute, usurped by the
ideals of equality and competitive individualism and discredited by
its own inherent limitations and implications. There have, however,
been important attempts during the present century to revive and
reassert education for leadership by adapting it to a rapidly
changing social and political context. These efforts at
rehabilitation originally centred on the elite public schools, but
increasingly involved state secondary schools that catered for
larger groups of the population: the classic tradition began to
mutate in directions that allowed it to support the claims of
industry and science. Indeed, education for leadership could prove
attractive to radical and even socialist educational initiatives,
but the perceived failure of the latter, and the deepening of other
forms of educational and social inequality, rendered the concept
increasingly suspect in the changing educational and political
climate of the 1980s.
