This is a very readable book - it isn't just modern educational thinkers like Vygotsky and Piaget, but you also find out what Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Foucault and Habermas thought about education. For some reason they aren't in alphabetical order, which makes it slightly awkward to find who you want, but otherwise a great book.

Great resource.
29 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback
This book is great quick resource for anyone interested in the history of education and education theorists. The author provides a short overview of the contributions of each of the "thinkers" included. I find it a most helpful introduction to these "thinkers" and have found after reading it my students are motivated to explore the ideas of one or more of the "thinkers" at a more in-depth level. I would recommend it as a resource or introduction to education theory.
