Abstract
In a recent paper in BJES, John Wilson (2002) examines the question of the desirability of education and argues that the enterprise can only be justified if it is thought to be necessary ‘as a means of salvation’. Here I expose a number of flaws in Wilson’s argument and defend a rather more prosaic justificatory strategy.
