Review
"Steiner presents a philosophical analysis of the politics of reform which takes account of several main currents in Western educational thought: ancient Athens, Rousseau, and John Dewey... Steiner's reinterpretation of Deweyan theory is especially intriguing in that he resuscitates Dewey's Hegelian emphasis on faith, meaning, and experience." -- Choice
"This extremely stimulating book probes... that increasingly central institution of our day -- education. Very highly recommended." -- William P. Anderson, Christian Sociological Society Newsletter
"An approach to education for democracy through a fusion of the educational and political theories of Rousseau and Dewey, coupled with an analysis of Greek politics." -- Political Studies
