Essays On A Liberal Education (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326880965)

Essays on a Liberal Education has developed out of an interest in the concept of a liberal education, and a conviction that, in spite of the admirable virtues associated with this concept, it does not provide a satisfactory model for general education. We need a broader, more diverse educational system, and this conclusion is reached through an historical study of the way in which the theory of a liberal education has developed, and by analysis of the concepts of society and the individual, which loom so large in most discussions on educational aims. A retired history teacher, David Conduct now lives in Durham where he taught for over twenty years. His studies have taken him through the universities of Hull, London, Warwick and Leicester, and his main academic interest lies in the history of ideas. This is his fourth book. When not writing, he can be found busking in the streets of Durham.
