Description and Table of Contents
Description
Providing the first comprehensive examination of the educational implications of the philosophy of Karl Popper, this book draws out the strong educative character of Popper's theory of knowledge, his psychology and his politics. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Popper himself, Bailey offers critical presentations of the key elements of Popper's work, his theory of knowledge, psychology of learning and politics, and goes on to extrapolate an approach to teaching and learning in schools and the wider community. The book unites the different aspects of Popperian philosophy and extends this to a coherent and innovative theory of schooling. As such it has a wide interdisciplinary appeal and will be of interest to those studying education, philosophy, psychology and political science.
