The Politics of Liberal Education PDF
Edited by Smith Barbara Herrnstein Smith, Gless Darryl Gless
Part of the Post-Contemporary Interventions series
Description
Within this area of consensus, however, the contributors display a wide range of approaches, illuminating the issues from the perspectives of their particular disciplines-classics, education, English, history, and philosophy, among others-and their individual experiences as teachers. Among the topics they discuss are canon-formation in the ancient world, the idea of a "common culture," and the educational implications of such social movements as feminism, technological changes including computers and television, and intellectual developments such as "theory." Readers interested in the controversies over American education will find this volume an informed alternative to sensationalized treatments of these issues.
