Philosophy of Education

Dr. Stephen Hicks, Professor of Philosophy at Rockford College and CEE's Executive Director, presents a series of lectures on YouTube about the philosophy of education, which were recorded during the 2009-2010 academic year. This introductory course presupposes no formal knowledge of philosophy or education.

Unfortunately, the naming convention of his YT playlists obscures the proper ordering of the course; therefore, I have listed with links the correct order below, so that I can consume the material more methodically.
