KAMINSKY'S REFLECTIONS ON THE FREEDOM AND AUTHORITY ADDENDUM; OR, RETURNING SMITHSON'S PHILOSOPHY FOR HIS OWN USE. A REJOINDER

The opportunity to return to some of my thoughts on the relationship of philosophy to the practice of education and the evolution of educational policy provided by Alan Smithson's paper is most appreciated. And, after careful consideration of Smithson's remarks about conceptual confusions and not unmindful of his remarks about factual errors, I believe things are not as bad‐off as he would fear. The Addendum is basically sound and so is its philosophy.
