About the Book
Addressing Education: Purposes, Plans, and Politics is the
first in the 10-volume series, Lynchburg College Symposium Readings, 3rd
edition. Each volume presents primary texts organized around an
interdisciplinary, liberal arts theme such as education, politics, social issues,
science and technology, morals and ethics. The series has been
developed by Lynchburg College faculty for use in the Senior Symposium and
the Lynchburg College Symposium Readings Program (SS/LCSR). While
these programs are distinctive to Lynchburg College, the texts are
used on many college campuses across the nation, as well as by readers
interested in significant original texts on important topics.
Addressing Education: Purposes, Plans, and Politics offers primary
source readings on a wide range of topics in education. Here are the
original writings that readers often only read about. In this volume, the
educators speak for themselves in selections and excerpts from Plato (360
B.C. E.) to Paolo Freire (1968). Familiar luminaries—Mann, Rousseau,
DuBois, Keller, Jefferson, 21 in all—gather together all in one volume to
deliver these pivotal ideas with incomparable impact. Whether
consumed cover-to-cover or piece-by-piece, the volume invites useful, critical
debate on this important topic.
