Biography
Chris W. Surprenant is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of New Orleans, US where he directs the Alexis de Tocqueville Project in Law, Liberty, and Morality. He is the co-editor of Kant and Education: Interpretations and Commentary.
‘In Anglo-American scholarship, Kant’s educational theory is only beginning to receive the attention it deserves. Surprenant’s book goes a long way to satisfying this lack. In particular, his understanding of the role and scope of education derived from Kant’s historical context and political writings offers us a unique and impressive standpoint from which to see Kant’s importance to educational theory. Highly recommended reading.’ —James Scott Johnston, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada
