This volume examines the place of Marxist theory in the history of the
journal Educational Philosophy and Theory, primarily through the
selection and exploration of typical and significant articles
exploring Marxist-related themes in the journal over time. The title,
From Radical Marxism to Knowledge Socialism, reflects this historical
approach. In the 1960s and 1970s, Marxism was considered to be a
radical, extreme ‘political’ theory, while western liberalism and
a free-market economy were largely taken for granted as natural
phenomena, in western philosophy of education and in the journal. More
recently, educational theorists have begun to explore trends related
to the neoliberal age. Paradoxically, such trends include the move
toward knowledge socialism, which decenters the normative
presuppositions of knowledge capitalism as the latest iteration of
western liberalism. The volume begins with an introductory chapter
that examines the history of Marxism in western philosophy and
philosophy of education. The rest of the book features works selected
from the journal that further illustrate the evolution of Marxist
theoretical perspectives in the field over time. This collection thus
gives a sense of the range and extent of Marxist-inspired thinking in
educational philosophy and theory. This book will be of interest to
students and scholars of educational philosophy and theory and others
who are interested in exploring in depth the evolution of key themes
in this field over time, including liberalism, ideology, Marxism,
neoliberalism, knowledge construction, capitalist and socialist
schooling, and other aspects of economic analysis in education.
