"Brings together the visionary thinking of Alasdair MacIntyre and the critical skills of some of the finest contemporary philosophers of education. The result: a rare combustion of intelligence, argument and insight. Dunne and Hogan have done a masterful job. This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in thinking through the current crisis in our educational culture."Richard Kearney, Boston College.
