For years scholars have approached it from two different points of view: one empirical, focused on explanations for student and school success and failure, and the other philosophical, focused on education's value and purpose within the larger society. Rarely have these separate approaches been brought into the same conversation. Education, Justice, and Democracy does just that, offering an intensive discussion by highly respected scholars across empirical and philosophical disciplines. The contributors explore how the institutions and practices of education can support democracy, by creating the conditions for equal citizenship and egalitarian empowerment, and how they can advance justice, by securing social mobility and cultivating the talents and interests of every individual. Then the authors evaluate constraints on achieving the goals of democracy and justice in the educational arena and identify strategies that we can employ to work through or around those constraints. More than a thorough compendium on a timely and contested topic, Education, Justice, and Democracy exhibits an entirely new, more deeply composed way of thinking about education as a whole and its importance to a good society. 606 $aDemocracy and education$zUnited States 606 $aDemocracy and education 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States 606 $aEducational equalization 615 0$aDemocracy and education 615 0$aDemocracy and education. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aEducational equalization. 676 $a379.2/6 701 $aAllen$b Danielle S.$f1971-$01798173 701 $aReich$b Rob$01804935 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969699703321 996 $aEducation, justice, and democracy$94353258 997 $aUNINA
