The Main Enterprise of the World
Rethinking EducationA towering achievement, worthy of a place beside the classic works of John Dewey, J. S. Mill, and Rabindranath Tagore. Kitcher's radical and compelling idea is that contemporary societies have been designing education to suit jobs that currently exist, when instead we should be imagining an education system that serves the needs of personal fulfillment and interactive democratic citizenship, and designing other social institutions to support those goals. This is ideal theory in the very best sense: a clear-eyed road map of a difficult destination, together with practical proposals for reaching it, articulated with both clarity and an inclusive love of human beings.

The Advancement of Science
Science Without Legend, Objectivity Without IllusionsIn the past three decades, reflections on the growth of scientific knowledge have inspired historians, sociologists, and some philosophers to contend that scientific objectivity is a myth. Kitcher resurrects notions of objectivity and progress in science by identifying both the limitations of idealized treatments of the growth of knowledge and overreactions to philosophical idealizations.

The Ethical Project
Instead of conceiving ethical commands as divine revelations or as the discoveries of brilliant thinkers, we should see our ethical practices as evolving over tens of thousands of years, as members of our species have worked out how to live together and prosper. Here, Kitcher elaborates his radical vision of this millennia-long ethical project.
