چکیده (انگلیسی):

The three papers brought together in this invited symposium reflect on the future of
philosophy of education, considering future alternatives and alternative futures. What is
perhaps most striking about the three contributions is that they reflect on the future of
philosophy of education from three distinct geographical locations. Peter Roberts, based in
New Zealand, reflects on philosophy of education with an eye on developments in his own
country, in Australia and in the wider region served by the Philosophy of Education
Society of Australasia. Heesoon Bai and colleagues, based in Canada, take the situation in
North America as their point of departure, albeit that their reflections aim at a truly global
perspective. Christiane Thompson reflects on developments in Germany and the German
speaking context which, although located in Europe, is distinctively different from
developments in other European countries, particularly those influenced by philosophy of
education as conceived and practiced in the English speaking world (see Biesta 2011,
2012, and also 2014).
