In this article, the author describes his intellectual growing-up and how Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA) entered into his intellectual frame and became more prominent in his philosophical-educational world. He states that for someone who set out to be a classroom science teacher, he has been inordinately fortunate in, so to speak, the intellectual company he has kept. While doing teacher training as a 19-year-old, Anna Hogg, Bill Andersen and early PESA colleagues confirmed and encouraged his interests in philosophy. He very quickly learned that there was nothing so important or so practical for teachers, as a competent and well thought-out philosophy of education. The more or less liberal sense of education has informed pretty much his entire intellectual and teaching life. His intellectual life has been wonderfully informed by excellent philosophers at Sydney University, then Boston University, then elsewhere. Many of these mentors became his personal friends. With philosophy rapidly disappearing from teacher education programmes right around the world, and being replaced by more "hands-on", "classroom management", applied courses, the kind of marriage of teaching with broader ideas that the author has been so fortunate to have benefited from, will probably become rarer and rarer. More is the pity for the professional life and identity of teachers, and more is the pity for the classroom experience of their students.
