Abstract
Arguably the philosophy of education is less well regarded and appreciated than any other philosophical discipline. This paper critically analyses one salient attempt to overcome this impasse made by the English philosopher of education Wilfred Carr. He urges that the discipline take a new shape which is different in character from academic discipline. It is intimated, contra Carr, however, that the social and educational nature of knowledge forms the centrepiece of philosophical enquiry into human knowledge.
