This volume looks at the thinking of educational theorist Carl Bereiter and how he tackled the problem of the liberal education canon. He proposed the way we view the main task of formal education as "enculturation into world 3". World 3 is an idea adapted from Karl Popper.

Liberal education was once governed by a canon, a recognized body of knowledge considered essential for transmission from one generation to the next. These essays examine the plight of modern educational theory in a world trying to cope with information overload without the guidance of a canon. Contributors include Carl Bereiter, Gordon Wells, and James Miller.
