The paper traces its history since 1839, through inspirational approaches ? based first on religion and later on psychology ? to the critical approach of R S Peters and his colleagues in the 1960s. It then looks at the existential crisis faced by this kind of philosophy of education after changes in education policy in the 1980s; and at ways it has found of overcoming it ? at the expense, however, of partially turning away from its earlier raison d?ĂȘtre in teacher education. The paper concludes with a discussion of what would be needed for it to resume its old role. VL - 67 ID - discovery10121337 N1 - This version is the author accepted manuscript.
