Philosophic Competence and Discriminatory Power: A Reply to Alan Smithson.

Barrow, Robin

Journal of Philosophy of Education, v15 n2 p229-33 1981

A rejoinder to Smithson's article, "Curriculum Policy-Making at the School Level: Two Approaches" (v15 n2 p215-28 1981). The author stresses that competent philosophical reasoning contributes to better decisions in curriculum policymaking. Such competence is necessary regardless of whether the decisions are made by administrators or representative committees. (AM)
