Philosophy of Education
- Synopsis
-
Noddings (education, Stanford U. ) is an award-winning educator, past president of the National Academy of Education and the Philosophy of Education Society, and author of numerous books. Since the publication of her classic text in 1995, it has provided education students and practitioners with an overview of philosophical thought and teaching, learning, research, and education policy. The text includes an historical survey of educational questions from Socrates' time to the 20th century and ways that philosophers have approached these questions, followed by chapters on specific education problems as studied philosophically in several areas: logic and critical thinking, epistemology and education, social science and educational research, ethics and moral education, social and political philosophy, school reform, and--new to the third edition--multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism. A final chapter summarizes the book from a feminist perspective and also discusses the latest work in care ethics. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
