Böcker av Paul Standish

This timely book addresses concerns about educational and moral standards in a world characterised by a growing nihilism.

In recent years, philosophical issues in nursing and health care have become more evident in the academic literature. The Philosophy of Nurse Education covers a variety of philosophical perspectives and enhances ideas of learning, teaching and curriculum design.

The authors of this volume argue that educational theory is at an impass and that the ideas of postmodernist thinkers such as Derrida, Foucault and Lyotard are needed in order to think creatively about education.

This work challenges some of the assumptions behind recent thinking on lifelong learning and discusses the idea of the learning society through a reappraisal of the relationship between the university and the community. It reconsiders the demand for efficiency, effectiveness and accountability.
