Philosophy of Education Notes

I've been going to the Institute of Education's philosophy of education seminars on Wednesday nights for nearly two decades. Two key figures in the department over that time have been Paul Standish and Jan Derry. Each offer nuanced and profound philosophical insights into education and it struck me that I ought to write a note to myself trying to get a grip on their different approaches and why despite disagreeing with their commitments in some respects (I'm neither a Heideggerian nor a Hegelian) engement with their ideas has been so fruitful and rewarding for me .
