Rezensionen

"Magrini claims that it may be feasible to initiate worlds in the present curriculum that stand further than the technical-empirical arrangement of social efficiency and its inclination for uniformity. ... Phenomenological language, and the distinctive reformulation of phenomena it implies, is thoroughly appropriate to convey the flexible, active, and changeable character of the development of our Being-in-praxis. ... Publication of this volume is well timed to tap into the increasing interest in curriculum. Magrini's approach is insightful and decidedly original." (George Lazaroiu, Review of Contemporary Philosophy, Vol. 15, 2016)
