Identifies significant leaders in educational thought from Plato to Dewey, describing their philosophies in their own words and assessing their impact on modern educators and theorists including Skinner and Piaget
Like most of the people who reviewed this book when it was originally released, I could wish a few more figures had been included. That does not take away from the sheer mastery of "big picture" understanding that Rusk provides. A wonderful text from a wonderful period in the writing of history and philosophy of education.
