Description
Philosophers in Education by Kamla Bhatia and Baldev Bhatia is a substantial academic work devoted to the thinkers whose ideas have shaped educational philosophy, pedagogy, curriculum, moral development, social reform, and the purpose of learning. Designed for students of education and teacher-training programmes, the book offers a structured engagement with major philosophers and educational reformers from classical, modern, Western, and Indian traditions. It helps readers understand how different visions of knowledge, childhood, discipline, freedom, citizenship, spirituality, democracy, and social change have influenced educational practice across time.
The volume covers 22 major thinkers, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, Johann Friedrich Herbart, Friedrich Froebel, Maria Montessori, John Dewey, Paulo Freire, Immanuel Kant, Jan Amos Comenius, Mortimer J. Adler, Allan Bloom, Nel Noddings, Vittorino da Feltre, Mahatma Gandhi, Sri Aurobindo, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Swami Vivekananda, and Rabindranath Tagore. Through these figures, the book connects educational theory with wider questions of ethics, society, child development, democratic participation, human dignity, spiritual growth, and intellectual formation.
With its wide coverage and academic orientation, Philosophers in Education is especially useful for B.Ed., M.Ed., teacher educators, education researchers, and students preparing for examinations or assignments in philosophy of education. Its detailed treatment of Indian and international thinkers makes it a valuable reference for comparative educational thought, classroom discussion, and independent study. This edition serves as a dependable companion for understanding how philosophical ideas continue to inform teaching, learning, and educational reform.
