R. S. Peters 
Education and the Education of Teachers (International Library of the Philosophy of Education volume 18) [EPUB ebook] 

This collection of important and significant papers examines a wide range of issues with R S Peter’s customary incisiveness and clarity. One of the author’s main concerns is to clarify the meaning of ‘education’ and ‘quality in education’ – a phrase often used in public debate but seldom scrutinized. Long-standing ambiguities latent in the concept of ‘liberal education’ are also exposed, and Herbert Spencer’s question ‘What knowledge is of most worth?’, vital int he light of the recent vast development of knowledge, is considered.
