[From back cover:] "Barrow is provocative; he is insightful; and he is entertaining."      — IAN LISTER, Professor of Education, University of York The Philosophy of Schooling ROBIN BARROW Professor of Education, Simon Fraser University THIS NEW COMPREHENSIVE TEXTBOOK provides a penetrating and lucid introduction to the philosophy of education. It succeeds in making the point and purpose of philosophical analysis absolutely clear and its power as a critical tool manifest. The emphasis on schooling rather than education draws attention to the broad spectrum of the book: recognising that schools generally do much more than educate, Dr. Barrow specifically addresses himself to the larger question of what schools are for and what they should do. While arguing convincingly for a conception of education grounded in breadth of knowledge, Dr. Barrow demonstrates the importance of other functions of schooling such as socialisation, emotional development and vocational preparation. The result is a rare combination: a textbook that really does offer a thorough and deep introduction to philosophy, and which, at the same time, is an imaginatively and strongly argued educational thesis.
