Rezensionen

For the past two decades, social epistemology has made the case at both a theoretical and a practical level that knowledge is constitutively social. However, this message has been mostly aimed at the natural sciences. Rebecca Webb has decisively broadened the field's horizons by bringing social epistemology into the heartland of humanistic education, enhancing it with her distinctive brand of critical pedagogy. Readers will be especially gratified by the sensitive intermingling of more general theoretical discussions with careful treatments of sample student papers from Webb's own classes. -- Steve Fuller, Founding editor of the journal and author of the book, both named Social Epistemology
