This volume gives educational theorists the chance to let rip
and say what they really want to say. In doing so it sends a blast
of fresh air through the dusty halls of academe. The vast majority
of the literature in education theory and philosophy follows the
conventions of academic writing, and rightly so. Yet its formal,
abstract and objective style, which focuses on the careful
presentation of theoretical and philosophical arguments, doesn't
always give us insights into what motivates and drives the
authors-while for academic neophytes it can be dense and
arcane.
Here, those same theorists and philosophers have been given the
chance to expound at length on the topics that most exercise them.
What concerns them, what gets them up in the morning, and what
really matters most to them? Readers will discover what happens
when these thinkers are explicitly invited to go beyond academic
conventions and experiment with form, style and content. Featuring
collected essays from leading educationalists from Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, the USA, Canada, Israel Germany, Belgium and the UK, these
essays provide vital insights into their work as well as being a
compelling introduction to contemporary attempts to make sense of
education through theory and philosophy. All these authors have
made key contributions to the field, and their unique 'manifestos'
make a fascinating read for any student or practitioner in
education.
