Description
Summary:Miri brings philosophical considerations to bear upon our understanding of the concept of education and concepts related to it. She seeks to answer questions such as: is education a unitary concept, or is it a cluster of concepts which are more or less related to one another? Are there values which are constitutive of the practice of education? Is moral education an independent variety of education, or is it necessarily internal to all educational practice? The book also explores the notion of the autonomy of educational institutions as it is applied in the context of higher education in India.
