The Revival of School Administration: Alasdair MacIntyre in the Aftermath of the Common School.
Holmes, Mark
Canadian Journal of Education, v17 n4 p422-36 Fall 1992
Ideas of the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre are developed for application to education. The school implied by MacIntyre's philosophy emphasizes content, substance, virtue, the learning environment, and the learning process. In a pluralist society, a school of choice, rather than a common school, is preferable. (SLD)
