Description
Book Synopsis* A collection of essays focusing on the work of James D. Marshall, who has been active in the philosophy of education for three decades.
Trade Review"A New Zealand philosopher of education, Marshall has researched and written widely on the positivist influence on education and the relevance of Wittgenstein and Foucault for education. These essays, by former students, colleagues and acquaintances are an appreciation of and for his work . . . One of the interviews (with Michael Peters) is particularly insightful and suggestive for students of education."
