According to T. W. Moore (Educational Theory: An Introduction, London, 1974), general theories of education of the sort developed by philosophers from Plato to Dewey have quite rightly gone out of fashion. Moore would restrict the contemporary philosopher to a more formal, analytical contribution to educational theory. The author contends that he (and many of his fellow philosophers of education) ignores the special resources a philosopher can bring to educational questions as an educated man, coming from a distinguished tradition of analysis and synthesis, and usually engaged in teaching. These are resources that the current educational system can afford to waste.
