Recenzje

'Whatever one thinks of this critique of higher education, To Whom Do Children Belong? is a careful, balanced, and sharp work. It would pair well with Amy Guttmann's Democratic Education in education courses. It should also challenge Rawlsians to rethink and better defend their case for mandatory liberal education.' Jon A. Shields, The Review of Politics
