This issue of Educational Philosophy and The0 y comprises a review symposium of Hubert Dreyfus’ On the Internet and a series of articles focusing on Michel Foucault, Emmanuel Levinas and Michel Serres.

The symposium begins with a brief introduction to the work of Hubert Dreyfus. It is followed by an essay by Hubert Dreyfus taken from his book and reproduced here with the kind permission of the author and publisher. The symposium com- prises review essays by Nigel Blake, Nicholas Burbules, Ian McPherson, Michael Peters and Paul Standish.

Three of the main articles concern the work of Foucault: James Marshall explores the links between liberation, freedom and education; Tina Besley’s uses Foucault’s notion of disciplines and technologies to examine ‘mental hygiene’ films and their role in the moral constitutions of youth; and Roger Deacon investigates Foucault on the rise of the disciplines, tracking out the complex relations between truth, power and pedagogy.

In the remaining two essays, Joy Hardy examines the work of Emmanuel Levinas in relation to environmental education, while Michalinos Zembylas provides us with an account of the work of Michel Serres and its significance for the philosophy and education of science.

Finally, there are a number of book reviews.This is the last issue for 2002 and also the last issue with our present publishers at Carfax of Taylor & Francis. I would like to take this opportunity to thank staff at Carfax and, particularly, Graham Hobbs and Steve Betts, who have looked after the interests of the journal over the last few years.
