Christopher Winch is Professor of Philosophy of Education and John Gingell is Head of Philosophy, both at University College Northampton.
'The book is short, with helpful chapter synopses and clearly
flagged debating points. Undergraduate students of education or
philosophy will find it helpful and challenging.' - Michael Duffy,
Times Educational Supplement'Winch and Gingell’s book should be
welcomed by those teacher educators and their students looking for
philosophically informed discussion of the broad policy context
within which teachers now work. Certainly I recommend the book to
them. It would be easy to use as a set text as it is clearly
written, contains summaries of the arguments at appropriate points
and questions for discussion which might be used in tutorials.'

2006
