The Philosophy of Schooling

This book, first published in 1981, provides a penetrating and lucid introduction to the philosophy of education.

The emphasis on schooling rather than education draws attention to the broad spectrum of the book: recognising that schools generally do more than educate, Dr. Barrow specifically addresses himself to the larger question of what schools are for and what they should do.

This book will be of interest both to students of philosophy and students of education.
