Synopsis

A History of Western Philosophy of Education comprises five volumes which traces the development of philosophy of education through Western culture and history. The historical periods covered are:
Antiquity (500BCE-500CE)
The Middle Ages and Renaissance (1000-1600)
The Age of Enlightenment (1700-1850)

Focusing on philosophers who have theorized education and its implementation, the series constitutes a fresh, dynamic, and developing view of educational philosophy. It expands our educational possibilities by reinvigorating philosophy's vibrant critical tradition, connecting old and new perspectives, and identifying the continuity of critique and reconstruction. It also includes a timeline showing major historical events, including educational initiatives and the publication of noteworthy philosophical works.

About Volume 1: A History of Western Philosophy of Education in Antiquity
This volume traces the history of Western philosophy of education in Antiquity. Between the fifth century BCE and the fifth century CE, Plato, Isocrates, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, and others, raised questions about the nature of teaching and learning, the relationship of education and politics, and the elements of a distinctively philosophical education. Their arguments on these topics launched a conversation that occupied philosophers over the millennia and continues today.
