Educational Philosophy for a Post-Secular Age

Educational Philosophy for a Post-secular Age re-examines and reinterprets post-secular insights surrounding contemporary educational theory and philosophy. It argues that the ongoing presence of religion in modern life is too readily disregarded by educationalists, who see it either as a foreign invader, a problem to be solved, or as a mechanism by which to reinforce particular religious, cultural or national identities.
