Liberalism, Education and Schooling : Essays

Terry McLaughlin's sudden death in 2006 deprived the academic world of a leading British philosopher of education, and the author himself of the opportunity to publish a planned synthesis of his work. This volume brings together a collection of his essays from a variety of leading journals. They have been selected by former colleagues well-acquainted with his thinking to celebrate his work and make it available in a convenient and accessible form. T.M. McLaughlin was a fellow of St Edmund's, Cambridge and professor at the Institute of Education, University of London.
