"The present work title "Encyclopaedia of World Great Educational Thinkers" is designed to bring to fore the essence of the wisdom of the Great educational thinkers and philosophers. The Board of Editors have presented the material in compact, simple and logical manner. In these set of five volumes, the educational philosophy of the Great thinkers has been x-rayed. India has been a home of learning, philosophy and spirituality for a long time. From time to time, great thinkers, educationists, saints and men of letters have taken birth on its land. We have incorporated the ideas, principles and philosophies of educational thinkers belonging to all parts of the world with a view to having and designing a masterplan paradigm for educational planning and administration in the context of the 21 century and the third millennium. Educational leadership and school administration have been a service profession. School leaders were citizens of communities expected to be in service to all children. The new rhetoric of consumerism and the market metaphors aimed at "bottom-line" thinking are propelling the profession to consider changing that constellation to one anchored in the profit motive. Not that the seductive call has not always been around, at least since Raymond Callahan described it at the beginning of the last century. But somehow in the past, both professors and future educational thinkers could take the metaphors with a grain of salt, and while the rhetoric was in the air, the service ethic was still the norm of the day. There is now a full-scale assault on the service ethic of the profession. The new language is finding its way into circulation and is represented in this Encyclopaedia as well. This Encyclopaedia has located as few major problems for the teachers in teaching the revised educational thinkers syllabus. No agency has taken up the responsibility of collecting information from different sources, so as to know as to how is the revised educational thinkers syllabus being implemented and what difficulties and problems are being encountered by the teachers concerned. It is in this context that the Encyclopaedia of Great Educational Thinkers is being presented to meet the demands of the readers trying to research on Education."
