R. S. Peters: Bloomsbury Library of Educational Thought

Autor Professor Stefaan E. Cuypers, Christopher Martin Professor Richard Bailey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 oct 2014
What does it mean to say that someone is an educated person? How do we know what's worth including in a school curriculum? Is a good moral education about developing good habits, or critical thinking? What role does the development of knowledge and understanding play in living a good life? These are all questions that were robustly taken up by the philosopher of education, R.S. Peters. In an era of immense reform (and confusion) about the values, aims and purposes of education, Peters developed a clear and nuanced account of what education is really about and how educational policy and practice can make good on its promise.

This text undertakes a careful and accessible reconstruction of the major themes of Peters' thought in order to demonstrate the continuing relevance of his project, both for educational researchers and teachers and student teachers seeking to better understand the nature and scope of their work and study.

Recenzii

An essential and long overdue critical guide to the work of the most significant educational philosopher of the 20th century. Informative, comprehensive, well organised and clearly written, it brings out the breadth, scope, and practical relevance of Peters' work. Particularly to be noted is the authors' awareness of Peters' recognition of the social context of educational discourse.
Cuypers and Martin reveal the richness of Peters' thinking about education, including his concern for the human condition and the predicaments of life, and his emphasis on the moral value of the work done by those engaged in the educational enterprise. Erudite, yet written with ease and clarity, their book shows both the overarching trajectories and nuanced details of Peters' thought. This book is a great companion for readers already familiar with Peters' work, as well as for those looking for an entry point into the complexity of his central ideas. The authors demonstrate the relevance of philosophy of education as a unique discipline that can significantly contribute to contemporary discussions on educational policy and practice.
The late Richard Stanley Peters was the British architect of post-war philosophy of education as a worthwhile branch of modern analytical philosophy and a philosopher of global significance and reputation. Hard on the heels of his recent passing, this clear, accomplished and overdue appreciation and celebration of Peters work - by two distinguished contemporary educational philosophers of Peters' own analytical temper and rigour - could hardly be more timely, and one may be certain that it would have been received with much pride and gratitude by the subject of this study himself. Like Peters' own output, this work is a shining example of philosophical insight and clarity at its best, and - for this as well as its subject matter - should be compulsory reading for all who might aspire to contribute further serious work to the field of philosophy of education.
