Philosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledge

Series: Anthem Studies in Wittgenstein

Selected writings of Christopher Winch on topics on and related to the philosophy of education from 1988 until the present.

This collection of articles by one of the leading philosophers of education in the English-speaking world takes up themes in the philosophy of language, epistemology and the philosophy of learning to shed light on philosophical puzzles concerning learning, concept formation, knowing how, the following of norms and whether there is a single concept of rationality that can be applied universally. Winch writes from a Wittgensteinian perspective, seeking dissolution rather than solution to philosophical problems. The collection also has a strong practical emphasis; the topics chosen are nearly all related to practical problems of educational policy and practice as well as have intrinsic philosophical interest.

Reviews for Practical Rationality, Learning and Convention: Essays in the Philosophy of Education

Overall, the essays in this book are characterized by a high level of scholarship and pedagogical relevance for researchers in the field of Wittgenstein studies and philosophy of education. It will be a worthwhile read especially for those who want to rediscover the study of Wittgenstein in a way that is not so self-absorbed in the exegetical debates around his life and work. Its focus on the critical application of Wittgenstein in professional and vocational education is a welcome breather that can make his philosophy more appealing to a wider audience of teachers and educators. —Lumberto Guce Mendoza, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of the Philippines, Philippines
