ABSTRACT
This book is intended as an introduction to philosophy of education for students in colleges and university departments of education who have had little or no previous instruction in philosophical methods and techniques. We shall, therefore, be at pains to explain as clearly and as accurately as is necessary any technical or semi-technical terms introduced in the course of the exposition. There will not, as a matter of fact, be many such terms and readers need have no fear that we shall blind them with jargon. Anyone with a modicum of common sense who is prepared to exercise thought should find no great difficulty in understanding what we have to say, always provided that he or she comes to the book with an open mind and not predisposed to regard philosophy as an essentially esoteric and difficult study capable of mastery by only a few gifted individuals.
