Philosophical Foundations of Education (7th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent basic text for undergraduate ed/phil courses.
Review: I teach an entry-level undergraduate course in educational philosophy. My first year students needed a basic text to structure the course, yet it was important to me that the students read WHAT the philosphers had to say rather than just reading ABOUT them. This volume enables the students to do just that -- it contains primary source material in the form of selected essays by leading philosphers, as well as providing general background on major philosophical schools. Ozmon and Craver also include a section for each major school of philosophy that specifcally addresses the aims of education, role of the teacher, and methods and curriculum.
