Bakhurst utilizes ideas from philosopher John McDowell to develop
and defend a socio-historical account of the human mind.
* Provides the first detailed examination of the relevance of
John McDowell's work to the Philosophy of Education
* Draws on a wide-range of philosophical sources, including the
work of 'analytic' philosophers Donald Davidson, Ian Hacking, Peter
Strawson, David Wiggins, and Ludwig Wittgenstein
* Considers non-traditional ideas from Russian philosophy and
psychology, represented by Ilyenkov and Vygotsky
* Discusses foundational philosophical ideas in a way that
reveals their relevance to educational theory and practice
David Bakhurst is the John and Ella G. Charlton Professor of Philosophy at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada. He is the author of Consciousness and Revolution in Soviet Philosophy (1991) and co-editor (with Christine Sypnowich) of The Social Self (1995) and (with Stuart Shanker) of Jerome Bruner: Language, Culture, Self (2001).

Index
"This is a book of fresh and original perceptions concerning
questions in mental, moral, and metaphysical philosophy. I admire
the system by which Bakhurst so often proceeds of critical resume
of previous work--both the old and the new, the familiar and
the unfamiliar. Few can cast the net so wide or, in doing so, stick
so admirably to the point. Here lies the possibility of progress in
philosophy."
--Professor David Wiggins, New College, Oxford
"The philosophy of Bildung must be at the heart of
any effort to comprehend our lives. This much will be evident to
the reader of David Bakhurst's admirable book The
Formation of Reason, which shows how reflection on
Bildung supplies us with the means to see through persistent
confusions besetting our thought about self and other, mind and
body, freedom and nature, autonomy and sociality."
--Professor Sebastian Rödl, Philosophisches Seminar,
Universität Basel
