To understand what philosophy of education is, it is necessary to gain
an understanding of what philosophy is, since philosophy of education
is simply philosophy about education. As such it can be thought of as
a branch of the discipline of general philosophy. Not all serious
thinkers about education would agree that philosophy of education is
a branch of philosophy; and a number of people who have called
themselves ‘philosophers of education’ doing ‘philosophy of
education’ are engaged in activities other than, and only peripherally
to, what is here considered philosophy of education. So perhaps the
best way to start to clarify what philosophy of education is, is to state
what it is not.
