PHILOSOPHICAL SCAFFOLDING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ...

This book offers description and analysis of philosophies that can provide scaffolding and
justification for the construction of critical  democratic  educational theory and practice.
The reader is presented with a broad  historical treatment of ideas in their social  political
economic  and educational contexts  moreover  the perennial quest for certainty is contrasted
with those who have decided it has always been an unhappy  unsuccessful  and dangerous quest.
Richard A. Brosio argues that the scaffolding and building materials for the construction of
critical  democratic education are best provided by those thinkers who recognize
epistemological uncertainty  as well as the need for a broadly inclusive human attempt to make
sense of our experiences  education  and world. The cast of characters includes classical
Greeks  Marx  Dewey  existentialists  liberationists  Freire  politics of identity thinkers 
and postmodernists - along with a touch of green.
