How "Practical" Should Philosophy of Education Be?
Siegel, Harvey
Educational Studies: A Journal in the Foundations of Education, v12 n2 p125-34 Sum 1981
Criticizes the view held by an increasing number of contemporary philosophers of education that the main focus of educational philosophy should be practical, rather than theoretical. Suggests that the primary aim of philosophers of education should be to contribute to the philosophical understanding of education, not to solving its day-to-day problems. (DB)
