Abstract: 

Can there be an introduction to X without an X to introduce? At first blush one might think not, but one should be forgiven for supposing that the philosophy of education proves one wrong. Here we have yet another Introduction to Philosophy of Education that introduces us to the introductions; when shall we ever find the real thing? It is true that there are a few genuine works in the genre, and we even have a volume in the Oxford Readings in Philosophy, but for all that the philosophy of education must have one of the highest ratios of introductions to real works of any area of human endeavour.
