It provides an overview and useful starting point for further, more in-depth study. It is, perhaps, of particular use to non-philosophers as it gives an insight to the complexity and influence of the discipline in education throughout the centuries.'</strong> - <em>Chris Smith, Escalate</em><br /><br /><strong>'A tour de force of analytic discrimination, it is testimony to the necessity for plain prose and careful argument in educational discourse.'</strong> - <em>Theory and Research in Education</em></p><p><strong>'This book grew on me as I waded into its deeper waters ... This is a substantial work offering a rich resource particularly for the more advanced student and represents a very useful addition to the field.' - </strong><em>Andrew Davis, British Journal of Educational Studies</em></p><p><strong>'Ultimately this book is quite unique and is a worthy addition to any university bookshelf. It should be a key text for Initial Teacher Education.' -</strong><em> John Dakers, Scottish Educational Review</em></p>
