{"product_id":"civil-societys-education-christopher-winch-9781350513365","title":"Civil Society's Education: Reflections on the Informal Roots of Learning","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis book examines the relationship between the educational activities of civil society and those of the state via three case studies in vocational education, political education, and educational markets.\u003c\/b\u003e Winch argues that the narrower educational activities of the state cannot be understood independently of those that take place in civil society which consists of institutions such as families, churches, businesses, trade unions, charities and political associations. Drawing on arguments and ideas in the work of Hume, Wittgenstein, Rhees, Vico, Hegel and Gramsci and building on the work of authors such as Bakhurst, Roedl and Hamlyn, the book breaks new ground in offering a philosophical account of civil society and the place of education within it. It is relevant to a range of societies, including those without a state or where the state has little influence, located in geographically and temporally diverse contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Winch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350513369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350513365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Christopher Winch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46807128113407,"sku":"9781350513365","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a0a9963-1d81-4f3f-bca2-56938db3b3c1.jpg?v=1745378625","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civil-societys-education-christopher-winch-9781350513365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
