Viac o knihe

Curriculum studies scholars are urged to deepen their engagement with scientific discourse, exploring a range of influential thinkers from Ludwick Fleck to Philip Mirowski. The book examines the rhetoric surrounding science, including its historical context, the critique of neoliberalism's influence on science policy, and the foundations of democracy. It also addresses feminist perspectives and postcolonial thought, featuring notable figures like Sharon Traweek and Daniela Bleichmar. Autobiographical interludes connect curriculum studies to science studies, culminating in a discussion of Nietzsche's philosophy of science.
