Zusatztext Cuypers and Martin reveal the richness of Peters’ thinking about education, including his concern for the human condition and the predicaments of life, and his emphasis on the moral value of the work done by those engaged in the educational enterprise. Erudite, yet written with ease and clarity, their book shows both the overarching trajectories and nuanced details of Peters’ thought. This book is a great companion for readers already familiar with Peters’ work, as well as for those looking for an entry point into the complexity of his central ideas. The authors demonstrate the relevance of philosophy of education as a unique discipline that can significantly contribute to contemporary discussions on educational policy and practice.
