Description

Over 25 years ago, in his now classic Education and the Cult of Efficiency, Raymond Callahan warned of the obsession with business-like efficiency coming to pervade educational thought. Contributors to this book - many of them students and friends of Callahan himself - discuss Callahan's prescient views in light of current educational debates and trends, expressing concern about bureaucratic and technocratic forces impacting on educational administration today. Callahan's influence on and contributions to fields as diverse as sociology, historiography, politics, philosophy and social research methods are reassessed by a distinguished group of leading authorities.
