    Taylor and Francis 2010; US$ 39.95

  • Imagined Truthsby Bryant Griffith

    Springer 2012; US$ 49.95

    Education is often envisioned as a linear, one-way, cause-and-effect process, with teaching as the cause, learning as the effect.

Technology facilitates the exchange of information,... more...

    This study re-examines John Dewey’s philosophy of education, and asks how well it stands up today in view of developments in Continental European philosophy.
