Higher education is experiencing declining support and increased interference. Response to this crisis will shape our nation's future. Success is likely if we follow Ryder's suggested pathways: understanding the history of education, affirming that student talent is universal without cultural boundaries, and the development of individual autonomy and social responsibility.--Herman J. Saatkamp, Jr., former president, Stockton College of New Jersey Written by a first-rate philosopher who realizes our thinking about philosophy of education must reflect our broader view of human nature, society, reality, and how we know it, this book takes a systematic and normative approach. Ryder perceptively exploits the tensions among the four philosophers leaving the reader to resolve issues for themselves. This book will prove a pleasure to read as well as teach.--Jim Garrison, professor emeritus, Virginia Tech Ryder's book is pivotal.
