About This Item
Sydney, Australia: John Wiley and Sons Australasia, 1974. This book provides an introduction to the philosophy and theory of education through a systematic analysis of the major educational theories; in nine sections of commentary and readings, it covers the spectrum of educational thought from the traditional positions of Plato and Aristotle, through the opposed progressive positions of Rousseau and Dewey, up to contemporary variations on and reactions to these positions in the work of Makarenko, Skinner, Neill, Peters, and Illich (tan cover with brown lettering, slight edgewear and corner crease, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy; no drop shipment). First Edition. Trade Paperback. Very Good.
