Rediscovering the Philosophical Roots of Educational Psychology: Number 3
In the early years of this new millennium, as the field of
educational psychology continues to define its place within the
educational enterprise, it is imperative that those in the field
reflect on the foundation of their domain. This special issue can
help keep the lessons of the past squarely in their minds and thus
contribute to needed reflection and subsequent dialogue on the
proper place of philosophy in the stream of educational psychology.
The contents are both diverse and well conceived, beginning with a
talk to educational psychologists that is suitably complemented by
four articles that recognize certain compelling issues. The depth
and variety of those articles, along with insightful commentaries,
are touchstones for educational psychologists interested in the
roots of the domain and in the links between current trends and
philosophical thought.
