Product Description

Product Description
The aim of this text is to present an outline of a Popperian theory of education, exploring the political, psychological and pedagogic concerns that offer structure to such a theory. It is argued that epistemology, or the theory of knowledge, must lie at the heart of every educational theory, whether it is made explicit or not. By examining the implications of those aspects of Popper's philosophy, politics and psychology that relate to education and learning, it is hoped that this area can begin to benefit from the opportunities enjoyed by those disciplines in which Popperian analysis is already accepted as an important contribution. The approach adopted is to trace an epistemological thread that unites the different aspects of Popperian philosophy, and to extrapolate from that thread towards the elements required for a satisfactory theory of education, focusing upon the growth of knowledge, within the individual, within a discipline and within the wider society. It also attempts to place educational concerns within Popper's overall system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and compelling reading, 16 Mar 2001

By A Customer

Richard Bailey's latest book, Education in the Open Society, is one of the most interesting books on the subject of Popper's philosophy of education I have read to date. I recommend it for both the expert and the novice in the field of philosophy of education. Dr. Bailey writes in a way that is both understandable for the beginner, yet exciting for the specialist. Richard Bailey is one of the most exciting young scholars in his field, and is one to keep an eye on in future.

5.0 out of 5 stars The complex topic of Popper made highly accessible., 16 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This book opened my mind to the complex topic of Popper and education. I found it a highly enjoyable read. Whilst the book is grounded in academic rigour, it will be useful to both students and general readers keen to understand more about this aspect of Popper's work. Highly recommended.
