13 SES 09 A, Kinds of Philosphy of Education and Ontology
Paper Session
Contribution
In this paper I consider whether or not there is a Scottish philosophy of education. I explore the views of Davie, MacIntyre and Graham all of whom suggest that ‘Scottish philosophy’ has been central to the education of professionals at universities in Scotland in the past, with this philosophical education in turn informing wider public debate. Their arguments imply that if there is a Scottish philosophy, it is more than anything a philosophy of education. I thereafter relate this 'Scottish' philosophy of education with other philosophies of education that have emerged in Scotland and elsewhere so as to gauge how distinctive any Scottish philosophy of education might actually be.
