About Philosophy & Education: An Introduction In
Product Description Knight's textbook surveys the philosophies and philosophic issues relevant to Christian education. Teachers, students of education, and other readers will find this book a "helpful guide for analyzing educational purposes and practices in the light of their basic beliefs." Besides investigating the relationship between philosophy and education and discussing how philosophies have affected contemporary practices in the classroom, Knight offers a Christian approach to philosophy and relates such an approach to educational practices. Philosophy and Education is divided into three sections. Part I deals with basic concepts in philosophy and the relationship between philosophy and education. Part II is a survey of how traditional and modern philosophies have faced the basic philosophic questions and what that has meant for educational practice. Part III discusses the necessity of developing a personal philosophy of education, one possible approach to a Christian philosophy, and some of the ramifications of such a philosophy for educational practice in Christian schools. Review "George Knight ... shows how Christian education can be thoroughly Christian instead of just a secular pill with a Christian coating." -- Christian Educators Journal "Knight's excellent survey of the relation of education and philosophy deserves serious consideration as a textbook in educational philosophy." -- Christianity Today "[It] is characterized by ... its ... logical presentation, and, above all, by the honesty, modesty, and tentativeness of its claim." -- Religious Education "[It] is written in non-technical language and would be an excellent text in an introductory course in philosophy of education." -- Review and Expositor About the Author George Knight teaches at Andrews University. He has served as a pastor, elementary and secondary teacher, school principal, and a professor of educational foundations. Dr. Knight holds two masters degrees in theology and Christian philosophy and a doctorate in the philosophy of education.
