This handbook presents a comprehensive introduction to the core areas of philosophy of education combined with an up-to-date selection of the central themes. It includes 95 newly commissioned articles that focus on and advance key arguments; each essay incorporates essential background material serving to clarify the history and logic of the relevant topic, examining the status quo of the discipline with respect to the topic, and discussing the possible futures of the field. The book provides a state-of-the-art overview of philosophy of education, covering a range of topics: Voices from the present and the past deals with 36 major figures that philosophers of education rely on; Schools of thought addresses 14 stances including Eastern, Indigenous, and African philosophies of education as well as religiously inspired philosophies of education such as Jewish and Islamic; Revisiting enduring educational debates scrutinizes 25 issues heavily debated in the past andthe present, for example care and justice, democracy, and the curriculum; New areas and developments addresses 17 emerging issues that have garnered considerable attention like neuroscience, videogames, and radicalization. The collection is relevant for lecturers teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in philosophy of education as well as for colleagues in teacher training. Moreover, it helps junior researchers in philosophy of education to situate the problems they are addressing within the wider field of philosophy of education and offers a valuable update for experienced scholars dealing with issues in the sub-discipline. Combined with different conceptions of the purpose of philosophy, it discusses various aspects, using diverse perspectives to do so.

Autorentext
Ann Chinnery is Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Programs in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University, Canada. Her research is located at the intersection of philosophy of education and teacher education, drawing primarily on continental philosophy to address ethical issues in education. Specific areas of interest include the cultivation of moral and social responsibility, educating for critical historical consciousness, and the complexities of classroom dialogue in pluralist societies. Her recent work has appeared in the Philosophy of Education Society Yearbooks, and journals such as Educational Theory, Teaching and Teacher Education, Ethics and Education, and the Journal of Educational Controversy. Her current research focuses on the pedagogical potential of critical historical consciousness as a framework for taking collective responsibility for collective harm regardless of one's individual role in committing the harm. This work includes, but is not limited to, educational initiatives intended to address the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and preparing K-12 teachers to take up that work in their classroom practice.
