She has the rare ability to show the relevance of philosophy to the concrete practical problems that teachers face in the classroom... It is difficult to imagine a more ideal introduction for potential teachers to the rich subject of the philosophy of education. --Richard J. Bernstein, New School for Social Research Nel Noddings, one of the most well-known and well-respected philosophers of education working today, gives us here an excellent, up-to-date and state of the art text... It fills a real need and will surely, and deservedly, become the standard textbook in philosophy of education... Noddings consistently brings the student/reader to a clear sense of the ways in which philosophical controversies are relevant to educational debate... I highly recommend it for use in introduction to philosophy of education classes at all levels, and for more advanced classes as well. --Teaching Philosophy Serves as an admirable introduction to the philosophy of education... Educators...will find the book most useful as an initial resource. --Educational Research This book offers religious educators a clear, well-organized introduction to the subject. --Readings An elegant contribution from a 'masterful' teacher. Vintage Noddings, it synthesizes, interprets, and updates the field as no other.
