Chapters address what philosophy and education are, whether education needs philosophy, and what education is for, including knowledge, work, and well-being. The book further examines curriculum design, teaching ethics, children’s rights, citizenship and schooling, state control of education, and educational opportunity, with discussion of equality, meritocracy, parental rights, and indoctrination.","# The Philosophyof Education\n\nAn Introduction  \nEdited by Richard Bailey  \n# The Philosophyof Education:An Introduction\n\nAlso available from Bloomsbury  \nAn Introduction to Education Studies,Sue WarrenPhilosophy of Education,Richard PringThe Study of Education:An Introduction,Jane Bates and Sue Lewis  \nFrom the Bloomsbury Library of Educational Thought  \nAristotle,Alexander MoseleyJean-Jacques Rousseau,Jürgen OelkersJohn Dewey,Richard PringMichel Foucault,Lynn FendlerPlato,Robin Barrow  \nThe Philosophyof Education:An Introduction  \nEdited byRichard Bailey  \nBloomsbury AcademicAn imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc  \nBloomsbury Academic  \nAn imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc  \n1385 Broadway  \n50 Bedford Square  \nLondon  \nNew York  \nWC1B 3DP  \nNY 10018  \nUK  \nUSA  \nwww.bloomsbury.com  \nBLOOMSBURY and the Diana logo are trademarks of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc  \nFirst published in 2010 by the Continuum International Publishing Group LtdReprinted 2011(twice),2012Reprinted by Bloomsbury Academic 2012,2013,2014(twice)  \n◎ Richard Bailey and contributors,2010  \nRichard Bailey and contributors have asserted their right under the Copyright,Designs andPatents Act,1988,to be identified as Authors of this work.  \nAll rights reserved.No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or byany means,electronic or mechanical,including photocopying,recording,or any informationstorage or retrieval system,without prior permission in writing from the publishers.  \nNo responsibility for loss caused to any individual or organization acting on or refraining from actionas a result of the material in this publication can be accepted by Bloomsbury or the author.  \nBritish Library Cataloguing-in-Publication Data  \nA catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library.  \nISBN:978-1-4742-2899-2  \nLibrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data  \nThe philosophy of education:an introduction/edited by Richard Bailey.  \np.cm.  \nIncludes bibliographical references.ISBN 978-1-84706-019-8(pbk.)ISBN 978-1-4411-2685-6(hardcover)  \n1.Education-Philosophy.I.Bailey,Richard.II.Title.LB14.7.P5432010370.1-dc222009015983  \nList of ContributorsAcknowledgements  \nIX.XI  \nIntroduction  \n1  \nRichard Bailey  \nI What Is the Philosophy of Education?  \n4  \nPaul Standish  \nWhat is philosophy?What is education?5Writing philosophy of education10The standard pattern(perhaps)10Different types of philosophical thesis12Some worked examples15Conclusion:the practical importance of philosophy18Further reading19  \n2Does Education Need Philosophy?  \n21  \nRichard Pring  \nIntroduction21Recent history of philosophy in educational studies22Nuffield Review24Doing philosophy26Educational aims28Culture and community29Learning and teaching30Provision32Conclusion32Further reading33Useful website34  \n3 What Is Education For?  \n35  \nRoger Marples  \nIntroduction  \n35  \nWhat is'education'and must an educator have an aim?  \n36  \nKnowledge for its own sake  \n38  \nEducation for work39Education for well-being42Further reading46  \n## 4 What Should Go on the Curriculum?\n\n48  \nMichael Hand  \nIntroduction  \n48  \nWhat could go on the curriculum?The academic curriculumThe vocational curriculumThe virtue-based curriculumConclusionFurther reading  \n49  \n51  \n54  \n57  \n59  \n59  \n## 5 can We Teach Ethics?\n\n60  \nJames C.Conroy  \nIntroduction:to do and to be60A lack of agreement on what is good61Historical changes in moral thinking64Further reading72Useful websites73  \n## 6Do Children Have Any Rights?\n\n74  \nHarry Brighouse and Paula McAvoy  \nIntroduction  \n74  \nThe choice theory of rightsThe interest theory  \n75  \n76  \nWhy might children not have rights?Children's interests  \n78  \n81  \nConclusion:so,do children have rights?Further readingUseful websites  \n83  \n84  \n85  \n## 7 can Schools Make Good Citizens?\n\n86  \nTristan McCowan  \nIntroduction  \n86  \nWhat is a citizen?  \n87  \nConceptions of citizenship87Making citizens91Sites of citizen learning93Conclusion97Further reading9","cbCaiu0b32DhKYUc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu0b32DhKYUc","pdf",6191133,1,200,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## What Is the Philosophy of Education?\n## Does Education Need Philosophy?\n## What Is Education For?\n## What Should Go on the Curriculum?\n## Can We Teach Ethics?\n## Do Children Have Any Rights?\n## Can Schools Make Good Citizens?\n## Should the State Control Education?\n## Educational Opportunities -
