Philosophy of Education: Classical and Contemporary

Dr. Elias has developed an inquiry into the history of philosophical ideas in education, including classical theories and contemporary discussions. This is one of the few books to deal both historically and philosophically with the full range of educational approaches from such noted thinkers as Socrates, Rousseau, Dewey, Montessori, and Freire. By including physical, vocational, and special education, Dr. Elias covers a previously neglected area of educational thought and opens up a most provocative area of investigation.
