- A topical and provocative volume that invites consideration of
the most fundamental issues concerning future educational
provision: what is the purpose of our schools, and what should we
do in them?
- Cutting-edge research by contributors who are leading figures
internationally in philosophy and education, for whom these issues
have been particular points of concern
- Includes a substantial keynote essay by leading philosopher of
education, Richard Pring, which is the springboard for the
complementary essays that follow.
- Engages with questions Pring raises under five themes:
defending and questioning the comprehensive ideal; common schools
in multicultural societies; common schools and religion; school
choice and the comprehensive ideal; and common schools and
inclusion
- Dedicated to the memory of Terence H. McLaughlin, whose tireless pursuit of the philosophical questions and challenges raised by the common school and the comprehensive ideal is emulated in these pages.
