| Summary: | "This seminal volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to presenting an authoritative account of contemporary philosophies of Catholic education, intersecting the substantive boundaries of education, religious studies, philosophy, and theology to ultimately re-examine these philosophies and reinvigorate the authentic aspects of the Catholic educational endeavour. Contradictions within theories and perspectives are unpacked, together with the variety of models and definitions that arise from them; chapters provide a thorough and judicious blending of historical accuracy with contemporary urgency. Combining a diversity of knowledge and historical account - including discussion on Thomism, Christian existentialism, and ideologically oppositional philosophies - the book argues that philosophies of Catholic education are in a new process of evolution necessary in order to justify the aims and priorities of Catholic education. This book will be of value to academics, scholars and researchers with an interest in the philosophy of education and in exploring the intersection of education and religion"-- |
