Methods In The Philosophy Of Education (routledge International Studies In The Philosophy Of Education)

Methods in Philosophy of Education This book introduces a variety of methodological approaches in philosophy of education. Established researchers from various philosophical and national backgrounds demonstrate the application of their methodologies by examining issues concerning children’s rights and education. The diverse methods reflect current debates in philosophy of education and demonstrate some of the specific contributions to educational sciences which can be expected from the subject. The methods examined include: analytic philosophy, reflective equilibrium, structuralism, deconstructionism, hermeneutics and antifoundationalism. The demonstrations of methodological approaches will be of great interest to both new and experienced researchers in the field, and readers interested in children’s rights in education will find fresh light thrown upon a number of topical issues.
