Synopsis

This important work reconceptualizes the landscape of contemporary educational theory. Based on a careful and philosophically informed assessment of liberalism, critical theory, postmodernism, and care-theory, it provides an innovative framework for understanding and guiding school practice. With wisdom and insight, Fletcher focuses on the tensions and conflicts that have divided emancipatory theories and offers a compelling alternative to the fractiousness that divides proponents of emancipatory views. Intended to meet the needs of all students, these proposals stand in opposition to the agenda set by neo-conservatives.
