Title: Education in a decadent age: the place of process philosophy in the curriculum
Author(s): Gare, Arran
Abstract: Alfred North Whitehead wrote ... at a time when access to education was on the rise and traditional education based on the classics was on the wane, being displaced by technically oriented education based on mathematics and science. Education would no longer be for an exclusive elite; it would be extended to all… Almost eighty years later we are in a position to judge the significance and value of Whitehead's proposals; and also consider their relevance for the present.
