Employers’ conceptions of quality and value in higher education
In this qualitative study, we research what constitutes the relationships between conceptions of quality and value associated with higher education as experienced by prospective employers of business graduates. Quality and value in higher education are often linked though the relationship is unclear. Employers are an important and under-researched stakeholder group on the demand side of higher education. Data are generated by interviewing prospec…

Herbert Spencer and the Invention of Modern Life
The English philosopher Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) was a colossus of the Victorian age. His works ranked alongside those of Darwin and Marx in the development of disciplines as wide ranging as sociology, anthropology, political theory, philosophy and psychology. His unique system of knowledge, which bridged the gap between empiricism and metaphysics, offered modern and scientific answers to questions about the meaning of life and made him a worl…
Children and their Environments: Learning, Using and Designing Spaces

The focus is on children in large real world spaces; places that children live in, explore and learn from. These include classrooms, playgrounds, homes and yards, towns, communities, countryside, natural environments, and the wider world. An international team of authors compare the experiences…

Naturalism and William Paley
MARK FRANCIS? I This article is an attempt to establish William Paley’s work as the source of higher political wisdom in England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Paley’s works were texts at Cambridge University for more than half a century, and he was an author who was required reading at universities in the British ‘outback’ when they were established-Durham University and Sydney University until the middle of the nineteent…

A Prolegomenon for the History of British Political Thought During the Nineteenth Century
They have lost all commanding views in literature, philosophy and science. A good Englishman shuts himself out of three fourths of his mind and confines himself to one fourth. He has learning, good sense, power of labour, and logic; but a faith in the laws of the mind like that of the Archimedes–a belief like that of Euler and Kepler, that experience must follow and not lead the laws of the mind; a devotion to the theory of politics like that of …

The use and abuse of paradigms in the history of political thought
A paradigm is a methodological device which historians of political thought borrow from the history of science. The initial part of this article examines the views of three distinguished historians of political thought—Sheldon Wolin, Alan Ryan and John Pocock—who have borrowed paradigms. Wolin and Ryan are shown to have confused paradigms with weltanschauungen in such a way as to make the former less useful as methodological devices. Pocock, on t…

The Origins of Essays and Reviews: An Interpretation of Mark Pattison in the 1850s
Any account of religious controversy in nineteenth-century Britain must mention Essays and Reviews , the collection of essays published in i860 by a group of distinguished and liberal Anglicans.1 The volume was a deliberate challenge to the great body of Anglican opinion in the name of reason, science, and Biblical Criticism. The challenge was taken up eagerly, and the essayists suffered a mild persecution. Frederick Temple's position as Headmast…
