Postfoundationalist Themes in the Philosophy of Education

Festschrift for James D. Marshall

Herausgeber: Smeyers, Paul; Peters, Michael A

Beschreibung

James D. Marshall has been active in the philosophy of education for three decades. This collection takes Marshall's work as its starting point. It contains essays dealing with various aspects of his work: particularly his long-standing criticism of the 'performativity' of the public education system of New Zealand, and his work considering the relevance of Wittgenstein and Foucault for various problems in the philosophy of education. There are tributes to Marshall in the form of interviews and testimonials, and a bibliography and remarks from Marshall himself in response to the commentaries of his colleagues.
