The Revolutions in English Philosophy and Philosophy of Education
This article was first published in 1982 in Educational Analysis (4, 75–91) and republished in 1998 (Hirst, P. H., & White, P. (Eds.), Philosophy of education: Major themes in the analytic tradition, Vol. 1, Philosophy and education, Part 1, pp. 61–78. London: Routledge). I was then a lecturer in philosophy of education at Sheffield University teaching the subject to Master’s students on both full- and part-time programmes. My first degree was in…
Shooting crabs in a barrel
Caché is a positively disturbing film. I have had many rich and stimulating conversations about it and I have appreciated the insistent dialogue it provoked. The value of those conversations also made it difficult to ask for more from the cinematic experience than Michael Haneke offers.

It has taken an evaluation tool from industry and re-designed it so that it can apply to distance education courses. The question as to whether or not a tool initially located in the service industries is appropriate for education is examined as are the alternative parad…

Since their inception in 1993 OFSTED inspections have generated considerable controversy amongst teachers and educationists generally, Much of the criticism to date has centred on the effects which such inspections have had on schools and their staffs. In contrast little sustained concern has been shown about the underlying assumptions of the OFSTED inspection process. This article identifies as the central feature of that process a particular bu…
