Probably the first systematic treatise on it in Western literature was Plato's Republic. Not till the twentieth century, however, did the philosophy of education become widely recognized as an important part of the professional preparation of teachers. Prior to this time, if teachers were trained at all in this direction it was through a study of general philosophy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore recently, however, the tremendous growth in the knowledge of teacher training has required the differentiation of educational philosophy from the field of general philosophy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeneficial as this specialization has been, it has, perhaps, gone too far. Educational philosophy has tended to slip its moorings to general philosophy, especially under the leadership of pragmatism, which some indict as a veritable denial of the possibility of philosophy. This specialization has been widened almost into a breach by the further fact that teacher training is frequently carried on in separate institutions. Normal schools, and later teachers' colleges, have been offshoots from the main trunk line of education represented by the university. They have developed not only separate physical plants but independent curricula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerhaps it is not surprising, therefore, if educational philosophy has tended to grow up in isolation and to forget its parentage. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne purpose of the present undertaking is to relate these two fields more closely again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[...]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, bound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Good, no notes or stamps, no dust jacket, does not loose any pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublishing house: Mc-Graw Hill Book company, 1939, first edition, sixth printing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eureka Editions ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57003932549468,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/6333\/3724\/files\/867952A2-89CC-44DF-8650-1DCF395775AC.jpg?v=1773504845","url":"https:\/\/www.eurekaedition.com\/products\/modern-philosophies-of-education-by-john-s-brubacher","provider":"Eureka Editions ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
