Synopsis "A History of Western Philosophy of Education in the Modern Era (in English)"
A History of Western Philosophy of Education comprises five volumes which traces the development of philosophy of education through Western culture and history. The historical periods covered are: Antiquity (500BCE-500CE)The Middle Ages and Renaissance (1000-1600)The Age of Enlightenment (1700-1850)The Modern Era (1850-1914)The Contemporary Landscape (1914-present)Focusing on philosophers who have theorized education and its implementation, the series constitutes a fresh, dynamic, and developing view of educational philosophy. It expands our educational possibilities by reinvigorating philosophy's vibrant critical tradition, connecting old and new perspectives, and identifying the continuity of critique and reconstruction. It also includes a timeline showing major historical events, including educational initiatives and the publication of noteworthy philosophical works. About Volume 4: A History of Western Philosophy of Education in the Modern EraThis volume traces the history of Western philosophy of education through the Modern Era. The period between 1850 and 1914 was a time of struggle for justice and opportunity, during which influential thinkers - among them, John Dewey, Maria Montessori, and W.E.B. Du Bois - addressed how education is fundamentally connected to questions of what it means to be human. Readers will find a provocative collection of educational theories and concepts that point to the inherent value of the diversity of human experience and background. Each chapter illuminates how the ideas of the modern era hold promise for a meaningful re-envisioning of educational practice and policy today.
