His reading and application of Habermas' Discourse Theory of Morality is a bold and important contribution to contemporary scholarship in educational policy and will no doubt prove to be fruitfully contentious over the coming years. * Walter Okshevsky, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Education, Memorial University, Canada *\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEducation in a Post-Metaphysical World\u003c\/i\u003e, Christopher Martin shows in a highly elaborated way how the articulation and the justification of norms and criteria of education can be carried out by the practice of public moral reasoning. In doing so he makes a great contribution to the conceptual analysis of education (and so to the philosophy of education in general). In addition, his book should also be seen as an important educationalist enrichment of the model of Discourse Ethics itself. * Krassimir Stojanov, Professor and Chair of Philosophy of Education and Educational Theory at the Catholic University of Eichstaett-Ingolstadt, Germany *\u003cbr\u003eWith an eye on educational policy and teacher practice Christopher Martin scrutinizes the concept of education very clearly in its normative connotation. He legitimizes his conviction that the educational domain is a moral theme in its own right as opposed to a merely \u003ci\u003ead hoc\u003c\/i\u003e, empirical or philosophically applied consideration. Theoretically speaking, his critical reconstruction of Habermas' Discourse Morality contributes to that conviction in a very creative way. * Siebren Miedema, Professor of Educational Foundations and Professor of Religious Education, VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands *\u003cbr\u003eMartin deftly brings together disparate developments in ethics, political theory, and education and does so in a straightforward and concise fashion. In particular, he shows us that conceptual analysis, long thought to be moribund in philosophy of education, remains a vital force in analysing certain contemporary political issues, such as the (political) question of Aboriginal education. A strongly recommended read. * Scott Johnston, Associate Professor of Education, Queen’s University, Canada *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cb\u003ePart I: Education and the Sources of Normativity\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
