An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education by Michael Demiashkevich is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental concepts and theories that underpin the field of education.

The author examines the role of education in promoting social justice and equality, and considers the challenges facing educators in an increasingly diverse and globalized world. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts and theories, and encourages readers to engage critically with the material.
