Educational Equality raises issues which will be of interest to all involved in educational equality, including teachers, policy makers and educationalists.
'Brighouse's lucid gem of an essay on educational equality is presented here, thoroughly revised and updated, with excellent editorial framing and deeply informed responses from both sides of the Atlantic. There is no better introduction to this important topic.' Randall Curren, Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Professor of Education, University of Rochester, USA
