Michael A. Peters, philosopher of education, brings a critical voice to the field of educational theory. Peters, whose own training was in the analytic philosophical tradition, became disenchanted with it and took up perspectives that include continental approaches (i.e. Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Derrida, Heiddger) as well as a strong post-colonial awareness of indigenous rights, wisdom and voice.
Recently, Taylor & Francis Online have made five essays from the him available for free. The articles by Peters explore "aspects of Wittgenstein's thought." They can be accessed here. Anyone interested in the philosophy of education would do well to become acquainted with Peter's wide ranging works. His insights on neoliberalism are particularly salient.
