Title: Why general education?: Peters, Hirst and history
Open access status: An open access version is available from UCL Discovery
Language: English
Additional information: This locates Peters' account of intellectual study for its own sake as the core of education within a tradition stretching back to early radical Protestantism. Religious justifications of an encyclopaedic knowledge-based curriculum gave way to psychological and then philosophical justifications of intellectual education, including those of Peters and HIrst. The definitive version is available at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com.
