Postfoundationalist Themes In The Philosophy of Education cover

This collection of essays focuses on the work of James D. Marshall, who has been active in the philosophy of education for three decades.


  • Deals with Marshall’s long-standing criticism of the public education system in New Zealand
  • Discusses his work considering the relevance of Wittgenstein and Foucault for philosophy of education.
  • Features tributes to Marshall in the form of interviews and testimonials.
  • Contains remarks from Marshall himself in response to the commentaries of his colleagues.

"A New Zealand philosopher of education, Marshall has researched and written widely on the positivist influence on education and the relevance of Wittgenstein and Foucault for education. These essays, by former students, colleagues and acquaintances are an appreciation of and for his work . . . One of the interviews (with Michael Peters) is particularly insightful and suggestive for students of education."
