Preface

[Joelyn]

Brameld sees his purpose as three-fold:

1. “drawing educationists and academicians together into a single large framework”, p. xvii

2. “this is a book in philosophic theory”, ibid.

3. “it is almost equally a book in the liberal arts as well as a book in the practice of education”, ibid.

“It’s primary purpose is to bring the resources of these three fields together because all of them are imperative to the task of professional education in our day.”

Recall:

This book was first published in 1965. Theodore Brameld (1904-1987) earned his doctorate from the University of Chicago and spent his academic career at New York University and Boston University. In the Preface, he thanks his colleagues at Boston University. So, I gather this book was written during his tenure at Boston University. He is most noted for being a progressive and a reconstructionist.
