Description
Harry Brighouse challenges conventional thinking about education in this thought-provoking book. He argues that children have fundamental interests that should be prioritised, including making their own judgements, developing economic self-sufficiency, flourishing through diverse experiences, and cultivating a sense of justice.
Brighouse critiques those who put economic interests above child welfare and assesses the arguments for and against faith schools and patriotism in education. Drawing on recent examples and famous thinkers, he presents a clear but provocative case that is essential reading for anyone interested in the state of education today.
