The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Education is intended to serve as a general introduction to key issues in the field, to further the philosophical pursuit of those issues, and to bring philosophy of education back into closer contact with general philosophy. Philosophy of education has an honored place inthe history of Western philosophical thought. Its questions are as vital now,both philosophically and practically, as they have ever been.

Distinguished philosophers and philosophers of education, most of whom have made important contributions to core areas of philosophy, turn their attention in these 28 essays to a broad range of philosophical questionsconcerning education. The chapters are accessible to readers with no prior exposure to philosophy of education, and provide both surveys of the general domain they address, and advance the discussion in those domains in original and fruitful ways. Together their authors constitute a new wave of general philosopherstaking up fundamental philosophical questions about education--the first suchcohort of outstanding general philosophers to do so (in English) in a generation.
