Publisher Synopsis
'Robert Owen provides a penetrating and compelling account of the influence and relevance of Owen today, an 'ambivalent legacy' as Davis and O'Hagan argue, balanced between a new world utopianism and Scottish Enlightenment rationality. This is an excellent, thought-provoking and exciting introduction to the education thought of Robert Owen, one of the most remarkable reformers of the industrial age and one of its most impassioned educational thinkers.'<br> <br>Michael A. Peters, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Read more...
