A long-overdue educational-philosophical task has been the methodical and thorough investigation of how State-regulated and formal types of education are interconnected with Civil Society educational activities. Christopher Winch’s new book fulfils this important task most informatively and insightfully, indeed, valuably. <i></i>

- Marianna Papastephanou, Professor of Philosophy of Education, University of Cyprus, Cyprus,

<i>Civil Society: Its Educational Importance insightfully explores how non-state institutions underpin education. A critical read for understanding the partnership between Civil Society and the State in shaping educational systems and their necessary impact on society. Thought-provoking and essential.</i>

- Ecem Karlidag-Dennis, Senior Researcher in Social Innovation & Impact, University of Northampton, UK,

This book examines the relationship between the educational activities of civil society and those of the state via three case studies in vocational education, political education, and educational markets. Winch argues that the narrower educational activities of the state cannot be understood independently of those that take place in civil society which consists of institutions such as families, churches, businesses, trade unions, charities and political associations. Drawing on arguments and ideas in the work of Hume, Wittgenstein, Rhees, Vico, Hegel and Gramsci and building on the work of authors such as Bakhurst, Roedl and Hamlyn, the book breaks new ground in offering a philosophical account of civil society and the place of education within it. It is relevant to a range of societies, including those without a state or where the state has little influence, located in geographically and temporally diverse contexts.

In partnership the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain (PESGB), this series publishes books at the forefront of philosophical inquiry into education, in institutions and as a dimension of life as a whole, and embraces a wide variety of philosophical traditions. They vary from examinations of fundamental philosophical issues in their connection with education, to detailed critical engagement with current educational practice or policy from a philosophical point of view. The series promotes rigorous thinking on educational matters and identifies and critiques the ideological forces shaping education. The ethical, political, aesthetic and epistemological dimensions of educational theory are amongst those covered.Advisory BoardRené Arcilla (NYU, USA)Eamonn Callan (Stanford University, USA)Richard Smith (Durham University, UK)Sharon Todd (Maynooth University, Ireland)Christopher Winch (KCL, UK)
