Abstract Details

2013, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Foundations of Education: Philosophy of Education.
The praxial philosophy of music education is proposed as a potential inclusive philosophical foundation of a multicultural education that broadly encompasses race, gender, religion, and people with disabilities. The praxial philosophy is grounded in the practice of multiple cultures by different peoples in a democratic society. Culture is viewed as a significant human engagement, which is necessary for the continuity of life. It upholds the equality of all cultures in their ability to sustain its people over a period of time. The central finding of this study is that the values of cultural recognition and inclusion underlie and drive the various historical movements that gave rise to and shaped the idea of multicultural education; those values are at the core of liberal democracy; and praxial philosophy is also grounded in those same values and therefore is a potential philosophical framework for multicultural education. The study contributes to the understanding of the philosophy and intellectual history of multicultural education.
