Teachers and students are frequently confused as to the
relevance of abstract philosophical theorising to the reality of
the classroom and this book is distinctive for the attention it
devotes to philosophy and its potential contribution to practical
matters, and education in particular. The author is critical of
many current views of the philosophy of education and argues the
validity of philosophy as an integral part of education in its own
right, against the creation of a new branch of philosophy, the
philosophy of education . The book stresses that relativist ethical
theories are no more known to be valid than the absolutist theories
they have replaced, and in the second section the author argues for
a modified utilitarian position. The final section enables the
reader to relate the general argument of the second part to several
specific issues.
