A Reader in Philosophy of Education attempts to deepen and widen the philosophical thinking of its readership in and about education. At the same time, it encourages an epistemologically rich understanding of education that is infused with different philosophies of education. Each of these gives readers an entry into the nature of education and maximises a many-sided understanding of educational problems encountered in society by means of rupture as well as consensus. The authors examine some of the primary genres of philosophy of education: critical realism; hermeneutics; phenomenology; critical theory; pragmatism; post-structuralism; rationality; Islamic education; Buddhism; Confucianism; African philosophy of education.

Chapter 1: African Philosophy of Education through a (Post) Critical Lens; Chapter 2: Pragmatism and Education; Chapter 3: Rationality and education; Chapter 4: Phenomenology and Education; Chapter 5: Hermeneutics and education; Chapter 6: Systems Theory and education; Chapter 7: African feminist perspectives and education; Chapter 8: The place of critical theory in understanding the nature and function of Education in Africa; Chapter 9: Realism and education - A philosophical examination of the `realness’ of the university; Chapter 10: Islam and education: Towards a poststructuralist understanding of Islamic education; Chapter 11: Chinese Philosophy and Education; Chapter 12: Buddhism: Educating for Right Speech; Chapter 13: Poststructuralism and Education.
