Series: A History of Western Philosophy of Education

This volume traces the history of Western philosophy of education from the Medieval through the Renaissance period (500-1550). This vast expanse of time includes the rise of Christian monasticism (one of the most enduring and revolutionary models of education in the history of the West), the birth of Islam (with its advances in mathematical, scientific, and philosophical reasoning), the rise of the university (as an emerging force distinct from ecclesiastical and state control), and the dawn of the Enlightenment. It includes chapters on the educational thought of Benedict, Abelard, Heloise, Aquinas, Maimonides, the prophet Mohammaed, Hrosvitha of Ganderscheim, Hildegard of Bingen, among others. It also considers the educational impact of Reformation thinkers like Erasmus and Luther, and Renaissance thinkers such as Montaigne.

About A History of Western Philosophy of Education:

An essential resource for researchers, scholars, and students of education, this five-volume set that traces the development of philosophy of education through Western culture and history. Focusing on philosophers who have theorized education and its implementation, the series constitutes a fresh, dynamic, and developing view of educational philosophy. It expands our educational possibilities by reinvigorating philosophy’s vibrant critical tradition, connecting old and new perspectives, and identifying the continuity of critique and reconstruction. It also includes a timeline showing major historical events, including educational initiatives and the publication of noteworthy philosophical works.

Reviews for A History of Western Philosophy of Education in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

[About the series] Not since Robert Ulich's groundbreaking A Thousand Years of Educational Wisdom has there been such a comprehensive examination of the history of western educational thought. Given that Ulich's work was published almost eighty years ago, there is an obvious need for an update. This series more than fills the bill by adding important topics such as feminism, racism, pluralism, and critical theory. The series goes a long way in bringing the history of Western educational thought up to date. It will be of enormous value to students of educational history and philosophy. * Walter Feinberg, Charles Hardie, Professor Emeritus, Educational Philosophy, The University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana, USA. *
