This book explores the implications for the curriculum, for teaching and for the authority structure of schools and colleges of an analysis of education in which the development of knowledge and understanding is accorded a central position. The book explains what philosophy of education is, and by concentrating on its central concepts, initiates readers into exploring it for themselves. It also serves as a succinct introduction to the growing literature on philosophy of education in the UK.

The Plowden Report, Children and their Primary Schools (1967), had a huge impact on education in the latter 20th century, but at the time was labelled as left-wing, and of no practical use to the problems of education in the 1960s. The contributors to this volume were all concerned with the educational thinking of the Plowden Report, and its appropriateness or otherwise to the educational needs of the day. In quarters where the Plowden Report was treated as an authoritative textbook, the views in this volume provide a valuable critique.

First published in 1981, this collection of essays was taken from Peters larger work, "Psychology and Ethical Development "(1974) in order to provide a more focused volume on moral education for students.

He also displays balance in his acceptance that reason and feeling are both of great importance where the subject of moral education is...

Topics include moral education and learning, authority and responsibility, psychology and ethical development and ideas on motivation amongst others.
