"Arguing that students can better understand and practice their profession by reading, contemplating, and discussing the great philosophic tradition in education, Philosophical Documents in Education, Second Edition, is an edited anthology of fifteen primary source materials that provides a wide range of both historical and contemporary viewpoints. Reed and Johnson invite preservice and inservice teachers to think critically about what it means to be educated and encourage them to formulate their own vision about what education is and what it should be."--Jacket.
