    A Critical Introduction to Curriculum Theory

    de Robin Barrow ...

  • Plato

    de Robin Barrow, Professor Richard Bailey ...
    Series series Bloomsbury Library of Educational Thought
    Plato was the first and most formidable thinker to recognise that education is a fiercely contested concept, and to point out what great social and personal issues are at stake in education. He articulated a compelling argument for a liberal arts education as something peculiarly befitting free and autonomous beings. He understood the centrality of education for human well-being and flourishing. ... Leer más

  • Academic Ethics

    de Patrick Keeney ...
    Series series The International Library of Essays in Public and Professional Ethics
    Academic ethics are currently much in the news but there is a great deal of uncertainty, both as to what constitutes specifically academic ethics and about a number of issues that are taken to be issues of academic ethics.
