Description
Defence of Liberal Education: Philosophy and Controversies by Anthony O'Hear explores the traditional liberal education philosophy and its relevance in the 21st century. The author presents an alternative to the prevailing progressivist thinking, which often prioritises utilitarian or child-centred approaches. This book delves into the historical roots of these trends and contrasts them with liberal education, outlining its virtues and criticisms. O'Hear shares his experience in setting up the University of Buckingham's education department and offers insights into the role of parents' rights in education, as well as challenging common myths about learning and education.
