Perspectives on the Philosophy of Education

Abstract

There is no well-established tradition in the philosophy of education, either as regards its methodology or as regards its subject-matter, as there is in other branches of philosophy. Some possible perspectives on the philosophy of education are considered, with particular attention given to whether philosophy is an empirical or a non-empirical discipline, and how it is to be formally distinguished from other forms of enquiry. Its subject-matter is also defined by reference to the concept of education and the possible contestability of that concept. The conclusion is that philosophy of education is a logical discipline which has great importance for the theory and practice of education.
