This book offers a succinct guide to Friedrich Nietzsche's contributions to educational thought, placing them within the context of his overall philosophy and adding biographical background information that sheds light on his thinking.

Educational themes in Marx's thinking are identified: the role of education within capitalist society, the contribution of education to human development and the character of education in a future society.

Friedrich Nietzsche continually presented himself as an original thinker who stood apart from the philosophical schools and tendencies of his time. This study seeks to show that his independence and originality actually developed in dialogue with other thinkers.

In an assessment of the educational thought of Karl Marx and its later influence, this book provides a perspective in which many aspects of Marx's ideas are seen. It explores Marx's approach to each of these issues and in relating this approach to later developments.
