Philosophical Documents in Education, 3/e masterfully argues that students can better understand and practice their profession by reading, contemplating, and discussing the great philosophic tradition in education. An edited anthology of 18 primary source materials in educational philosophy, this book provides a wide range of both historical and contemporary viewpoints. Works by philosophers of numerous perspectives---including Catharine Macaulay, Hannah Arendt, Cornel West, Maxine Greene, Paulo Freire, Kieran Egan, Jane Roland Martin, and Parker J. Palmer---expose readers to philosophical views from diverse populations and convictions. With fresh perspectives, a comprehensive and contextualizing introduction, and updated pedagogy including revised timelines and new chapter questions, this revered resource is more vital than ever for today's teachers.
Quick survey for educators
| Customer Rating: | This is a fine attempt at a survey of philosophical ideas behind Western educational systems. The editors have chosen a few exemplars of philosophers from ancient Greece through modern day constructivist American educational philosophers. Especially praiseworthy is the inclusion of women authors in the third version, although at the expense of such thinkers as Richard Rorty, Vygotsky, and Hegel.
The introductions for each philosopher are succinct, and the questions at the end of each chapter can be used in the classroom for discussion. In this regard, the book is well-suited as an introductory textbook.
Many of the excerpts, however, are exceedingly short and do not present much depth or flavor of each philosopher's thought. For readers with a background in philosophy, this is a sip of water when a glass is desired. Students of education, however, may find it adequate as a quick beginning to the topic. However, I strongly recommend additional readings be included in any serious course on the philosophy of education. |
