"The present title "Encyclopaedia of World Great Educational Philosophers" is an exciting, and dynamic branch of the field of education and offers the finest approach to teaching philosophies through the integration of the educational thought and practice from the very earliest times through to the present day. It prepares the students to learn to formulate philosophy. This text also has a completely novel way to illustrate the one or two experiments in each chapter that are rigorously examined according to the biographical information method. It starts with the premise that the syllabus for a university course in great educational philosophers should reflect the major research issues of the new millennium rather than those topics that were in vogue during the last decades.
This book has been written for the students of graduate and post graduate classes. All aspects of the subject have been given due consideration interaction between man and his environment and has been discussed to a depth which is easily comprehensible and which as far as possible presents a correct perspective for undergraduate. The text has been effectively illustrated with an adequate number of maps and diagram. Statistics given in this book can be relied upon as they have been taken mostly from the publication of the central and state government.
The author tried hard to be accurate and upto date in statement and realises the impossibility of completely avoiding errors therefore, the author will greatly appreciate having his attention called to any questionable statement." (jacket)
