Description

This title considers the philosophical debates surrounding equality and education. "Educational Equality and the New Selective Schooling" by Harry Brighouse was initially published by the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain in 2000. In this new edition, Brighouse has updated his argument, Kenneth R Howe and James Tooley have contributed counter-arguments and Graham Haydon has provided a foreword and afterword drawing the debates together. The issues debated in this new edition of 'Educational Equality" include: What is Educational Equality? Why Does Educational Equality Matter? And is Educational Equality Possible? "Educational Equality" raises issues which will be of interest to all involved in educational equality, including teachers, policy makers and educationalists. This innovative series is addressed to practitioners and policy-makers. It highlights the critical perspectives that philosophy can bring to bear on current education policy and provides a lively discussion of the issues. It aims to stimulate debate and to contribute to better informed educational initiatives.

Media Reviews

'This is a timely and important book. Brighouse's incisive conception of the nature, value and implications of educational equality, as well as the critical reactions to his essay, should be read by anyone interested in the education of the least advantaged.' Matthew Clayton, Associate Professor of Political Theory at the University of Warwick, UK
'Brighouse's lucid gem of an essay on educational equality is presented here, thoroughly revised and updated, with excellent editorial framing and deeply informed responses from both sides of the Atlantic. There is no better introduction to this important topic.' Randall Curren, Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Professor of Education, University of Rochester, USA
