In this volume Joe L. Kincheloe and Randall Hewitt have gathered an impressive and scholarly
group of authors who argue for the continuing importance of the philosophy of education.
Reviving the notion that philosophy is an essential foundation in the study and research of
education contributors to this volume directly confront the evisceration of the topic by those
who are interested in commercializing learning. Contrary to the current shift away from
foundations courses this volume proves that pre-service teachers need an intense awareness of
the subjects that comprise the core of their knowledge. Philosophy of education is central to
this concept. Regenerating the Philosophy of Education is an excellent classroom resource and
is essential reading for all undergraduate and graduate students in schools of education.
