About book

Selected writings of Christopher Winch on topics on and related to the philosophy of education from 1988 until the present.

This collection of articles by one of the leading philosophers of education in the English-speaking world takes up themes in the philosophy of language, epistemology and the philosophy of learning to shed light on philosophical puzzles concerning learning, concept formation, knowing how, the following of norms and whether there is a single concept of rationality that can be applied universally. Winch writes from a Wittgensteinian perspective, seeking dissolution rather than solution to philosophical problems. The collection also has a strong practical emphasis; the topics chosen are nearly all related to practical problems of educational policy and practice as well as have intrinsic philosophical interest.
