Education, Knowledge and Truth

Education, Knowledge and Truth

Taylor & Francis

In the 1960s educational philosophers showed enormous interest in the nature of knowledge and the curriculum. This work responds to the need to reinstate conceptual problems of truth, knowledge and the curriculum on the agenda for debate. > This collection aims to explore different conceptions of epistemological inquiry and their influence on pedagogy and the curricular content of primary and secondary education. It is arguable that curriculum policy makers have continued to subscribe to a foundationalist paradigm of rational educational planning. This is, however, considered largely untenable by educational philosophers in light of the impact of 'postmodern' philsophical critiques on the notions of objectivity, truth and authority in our claims for knowledge. This volume fills a major gap in the current literature of educational philosophy by calling for the establishment of a coherent route between rational foundationalism and intellectually promiscuous postmodernism in order toy
