Reviews

""Teachers and Philosophy makes a very unique contribution to what might be called 'applied' or 'practical' approaches to philosophy of education. It invites readers into a conversation and a community of engaged scholars and practitioners working collaboratively to address very 'real' and pressing issues in education, schools, and classrooms. The book also does a wonderful job 'humanizing' the educational experience."" — Benjamin G. S. Paxton, University of Virginia ""I have never encountered a book in the field where nearly every article was coauthored by an academic philosopher and an educator, nor where the intersection between the two was so honestly and critically examined. The editors of this volume have framed the text around the generative and useful concept of 'contact zones.'"" — Sara Hardman, Teachers College, Columbia University
