Tracing the deep connections between philosophy and education, Ryan
McInerney argues that we must use philosophy to reflect on the
significance of educational practice to all human endeavour. He
uses a broad approach which takes in the relationships governing
philosophy, education, and language, to reveal education's
fundamental achievements and metaphysical significance. The
realization of educational ideals and policies are read alongside
growing skepticism regarding the theoretical and practical
significance of philosophical thinking, and the emphasis on
resource efficiency and measurable outcomes which characterise
schooling today. It is from this context that McInerney defends the
value inherent to the philosophy of education. Drawing upon
contemporary continental and analytic thinkers including Nietzsche,
Gadamer, and Wittgenstein, McInerney charts the role of education
in shaping the child's metaphysical transformation through language
acquisition. Connecting early years and primary school education,
McInerney pinpoints rationality as the crucial factor which
produces critical, thinking beings. He presents the pursuit of
philosophically minded education as a rational pursuit which
enables us to philosophise and educate others in turn, dispensing
with the epistemological and conceptual foundationalisms of the
past.
