The current paper intends to present a new interpretation of the philosophical articles by R S. Peters, a major analytic philosopher of education, by doing away with the major previous preconceptions concerning his position.<BR>The present author proceeds as fellows ; (1) to extract the framework of Peters' philoso-phy of education as a whole, by analyzing <I>Ethics and Education</I>, his major work ; (2) to clarify the characteristics of the normative problems which arise inevitably from his analysis of the concept of "education"; (3) to compare the normative basis of his philosophy of education and the normative basis of Dewey's theory, by taking up Peters' critical comment on the latter ; (4) to examine Peters' point of view on the movement of analytic philosophy of education since the 1960s, by scrutinizing his retrospective articles. <BR>Through these considerations, the present author clarifies the truth of Peters' normative aspect which he has maintained right from the beginning of his philosophical career. At the same time, the author separates out those foundations of the analytic philosophy of education in Britain-the historical particulars, the soil, the climate and so on-upon which his philoso-phy had depended.
