What is education for? Should it produce workers or educate future citizens? Is there a place for faith schools - and should patriotism be taught? In this compelling and controversial book, Harry Brighouse takes on all these urgent questions and more. He argues that children share four fundamental interests: the ability to make their own judgements about what values to adopt; acquiring the skills that will enable them to become economically self-sufficient as adults; being exposed to a range of activities and experiences that will enable them to flourish in their personal lives; and developing a sense of justice. He criticises sharply those who place the interests of the economy before those of children, and assesses the arguments for and against the controversial issues of faith schools and the teaching of patriotism. Clearly argued but provocative, "On Education" draws on recent examples from Britain and North America as well as famous thinkers on education such as Aristotle and John Locke. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the present state of education and its future.

前面几章容易读，但是也就是一个比较普通的左派教育学家能掰扯的那一点道理。后面几章复杂些，反而有趣了。Brighouse认为政教分离的美国教育系统反而让孩子隔绝了与宗教接触的机会，倒不如英国，能够在宗教混杂中锻炼学生的思维判断能力，无论这种能力最终让他们走向信仰还是不信仰，都对人是有好处的。
