About the Book

Through a collection of contributions from an international team of empirical researchers and philosophers, New Philosophies of Learning signals the need for a sharper critical awareness of the possibilities and problems that the recent spate of innovative learning techniques presents.

  • Explores some of the many contemporary innovations in approaches to learning, including neuroscience and the focus on learners' well-being and happiness
  • Debates the controversial approaches to categorising learners such as dyslexia
  • Raises doubts about the preoccupation with quasi-mathematical scrutiny and the neglect of ethical reflection about education
  • Discusses the possible grounds for concern, without exaggerating their similarities or offering sweeping judgements
  • Includes contributions from empirical researchers and philosophers, including Usha Goswami, Howard Gardner, Julian Elliott, David Bakhurst, John White and Christopher Winch
