The Rhetoric of Humanistic Education.

Williams, A. J.; Foster, L. E.

Journal of Educational Thought, v13 n1 p37-52 Apr 1979

This article examines statements about humanistic education, basing its critique on both style and content. Part One attempts to locate humanistic education in the context of reformist movements in education and psychology. Part Two considers the movement's self-explanation and attempts to divine assumptions underlying its various justifications. (Author/SJL)
