The Concept of Education (International Library of the Philosophy of Education Volume 17) - R.S. Peters

A series of public lectures given at the Institute of Education, University of London provides the nucleus around which this collection, originally published in 1967, is gathered. This collection provides comprehensive coverage of a complex theme which will be of interest to those involved in the fields of philosophy and education alike. Topics covered include:the logical and psychological aspects of learning, the concept of play, rule and routines, teaching and training, philosophical models of teaching.

'This valuable book does show very clearly that...careful analysis of the concepts used in education can only clarify the issues involved.'- Spectator
