Opis

This book brings together essays by leading political, legal, and educational theorists to re-examine the requirements of citizenship education in liberal-democratic societies. The chapters in the book evaluate demands by minority groups for cultural recognition through education, and also examine arguments for and against citizenship education as a means of fostering a shared national identity.

Recenzje

This fine collection illustrates the complexity of the present contested terrain of liberal theory in philosophy of education. The authors provide such a thorough treatment of the issues that we are left asking where the debate could go from here.
