The educational writings of John Macmurray have a special relevance for us today. In similar circumstances of international crisis he argued for the central importance of education addressing fundamental issues of human purpose - how we lead good lives together, the emphasis on wisdom rather than knowledge alone, the advancement of a truly democratic culture, and the overriding importance of community in human flourishing. This collection of articles from leading international scholars includes the hitherto unpublished John Macmurray lecture 'Learning to be Human'.
