Abstract
This chapter presents some reflections on the history of education. The starting point is that the renewal and development of research in the field should resist the seduction of Philosophy with a capital P and instead take into account
the much more modest contributions offered by the philosophy of the social sciences. To defend this approach, the program of micro-foundations, developed by Jon Elster and others, is presented as a way to address some of the concerns of
cultural historians of education, and to integrate most of the new approaches to the history of education in a theoretical and methodological framework that appears to be more solid than those of the postmodern proposals. The final proposal is to reformulate the main theoretical approaches as mid-range theories able to be empirically researched
