教育哲學是教育學術的理論基礎之一，本文藉著回顧政府遷臺後五十年來教育哲學的學術發展以前瞻未來。研究者約略把民國四十年代已卓然有成的學者列為第一代；而把其學生輩，在民國六十年代執教高等學府者為第二代；而求學於民國七十年代，學成並執教於高等學府，成為國內現今中壯教育哲學主力者為第三代。研究者初步的掃描是，第一代大師已奠定了歐陸與英美雙途發展的歷史因緣。第二代教育先進繼承此一傳統，不僅更為多元化，也能同步於歐陸與英美1960、70年代最新的學術成果。第三代教育哲學工作者得天獨厚，得利於前兩代的基礎與國家經濟實力的研究條件，部分作品已展現了建構個人教育理念與開拓新的教育哲學研究典範的視野。當然，千禧年之後，教育哲學也面臨到一些危機。本文最後根據教育哲學學術發展的內涵及教育哲學學術建級兩個層面，分別提出研究者個人的歸納與看法，期許教育哲學在臺灣，能突破危機，重振教育哲學在中西教育史上的光榮地位。
