Resumen
Resumen
Terrorism, ethnocentrism, religious tension, competition over limited resources, war - these are just a few of the problems and challenges that have emerged in today's global economy. Globalization both implies and requires economic interdependence; and this should bring with it a heightened sense of the interconnectedness of the participating societies. But unfortunately, as recent events indicate, rather than our having formed a global community, today's society is more fragmented than ever. In light of this, education faces some formidable new challenges. How do we prepare future citizens for the world they will live in? How do we teach future generations to embrace the paradox of accepting the value of multiculturalism despite the conflicts it has produced? How do we instill religious tolerance in a time when fundamentalism has become inextricably tied with terrorism? How do we promote economic growth in the face of overpopulation and its depletion of resources? The authors of this collection of essays explore these and related challenges, and they suggest some novel ways of dealing with them.

Philosophy of education involves the use of philosophical techniques and insights to understand fundamental questions about education. Usually it centers on specific societies or persons and treats their beliefs schematically. The editors of this volume believe differently that in this age of globalism, the classroom no longer can be insulated from politics and students today face "an entirely new set of problems." More than a dozen contributors to this volume introduce those problems, which include the relevance of rational discourse in different cultures; the idea of global citizenship; new pedagogical proposals for analyzing cultural meanings, global gender equality, and the use of "models and heroes in an egalitarian age"; the treatment of symbolic clothing in schools; and a proposal for "global religious education." The authors show clearly the philosophical techniques they employ in their analyses and that lead to their conclusions and proposals, but some are more convincing than others. The book on the whole is to be commended for its focus on a global context, for treating the most important issues, and for showing how philosophy of education works, though it requires mature students if it is to be used effectively.
