Description
The purpose of education is at the heart of the debate. In his second book, Stephen Tierney argues that this purpose must be re-examined and refocused. He challenges the current orthodoxy, proposing an alternative approach based on four main philosophies: personal empowerment, cultural transmission, preparation for work, and preparation for citizenship. Tierney's critique is grounded in a deep understanding of these philosophies and their impact on education. He argues that the telos of education should be a life well lived, with a preferential option for the poor at its heart. This book will be of interest to all those involved in education, offering a thought-provoking challenge to consider alternative views and approaches. By re-purposing education, Tierney seeks to create a more meaningful and impactful learning experience. His ideas are both educative and challenging, making this book an essential read for anyone looking to explore the future of education.
