abstract: Richard Peters’s contribution to teaching and research in philosophy of education after
1962 until the mid-1970s was immense, as this piece by two of his colleagues from that
period shows. He brought the prevailing emphasis on conceptual analysis in general
philosophy to bear on creating a new way of philosophising about education. He worked
tirelessly both to expand the teaching of the subject at Postgraduate Certificate of
Education (PGCE) and especially at in-service levels, and to reform teacher education at
the University of London Institute of Education and its associated colleges more generally.
He also founded the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain and its journal.
Despite health difficulties, problems in his analysis of the concept of education, objections
to the academic overloading of the PGCE, and the later decline of government funding of
in-service courses in the 1980s, much of Peters’s original vision for philosophy of education
thrives to this day.
