The philosophy of education in Great Britain : orientations and major trends since 1960. - The development of English philosophy of education during the sixties sounded like an explosion when this subject got to be conceived like an application of the thinking style of analytical philosophy to the educational problems approach instead of being considered as a means of making students know great authors' doctrines (from Plato to Dewey). However from the 80's we have been observing a slowing down which calls for a new approach that would require to go deeper in the subject and to widen horizons towards the outer world.
