The educational writings of John Macmurray, one of the finest 20th
century philosophers of his generation, have a special relevance
for us today. In similar circumstances of international crisis he
argued for the central importance of education addressing
fundamental issues of human purpose - how we lead good lives
together, the emphasis on wisdom rather than knowledge alone, the
advancement of a truly democratic culture, and the overriding
importance of community in human flourishing. This remarkable
collection of articles from leading international scholars includes
the hitherto unpublished John Macmurray lecture - Learning to be
Human - and brings together invited contributions from a range of
fields and disciplines (e.g. philosophy of education, moral
philosophy, care ethics, history of education, theology, religious
education, future studies and learning technologies) and a number
of countries across the world (e.g. Australia, the UK and the USA).
Countering overemphasis on technique and its typical separation
from wider human purposes emblematic of much of our current
malaise, this book asks what it might mean to take the education of
persons seriously and how such a perspective helps us to form
judgments about the nature and worth of contemporary education
policy and practice. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Oxford Review of Education.
