This seminal volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to presenting an authoritative account of contemporary philosophies of Catholic education, intersecting the substantive boundaries of education, religious studies, philosophy, and theology to ultimately re-examine these philosophies and reinvigorate the authentic aspects of the Catholic educational endeavour.

Against the backdrop of an increasingly volatile debate between liberal and conservative values within Catholic educational and theological settings, chapters provide a thorough and judicious blending of historical accuracy with contemporary urgency. Combining a diversity of knowledge and historical account – including discussion on Thomism, Christian existentialism, and ideologically oppositional philosophies – the book argues that philosophies of Catholic education are in a new process of evolution necessary in order to justify the aims and priorities of Catholic education.

This book will be of value to academics, scholars, teachers, and researchers with an interest in Roman Catholicism and the philosophy of education. Those more broadly interested in exploring the intersection between education, philosophy, and religion will also find the volume of use.
