Whitehead, Process Philosophy, and Education

by Robert S. Brumbaugh

Overview

This present study began as the author's extension and application of ideas from Whitehead's work to the subject of education, using a chapter from Whitehead's book Science and the Modern World and a pamphlet, The Rhythm of Education as the starting point. Platonic metaphysics have also found application in the author's search for a diagnosis and eventual cure for the American educational system. Originally published by SUNY Press in 1982.

Editorial Reviews

"Nothing on Whitehead and education compares with this in scope and depth. To my knowledge, nothing on education written recently has this degree of philosophical sophistication." — David Griffin
