This book simultaneously contributes to the fields of critical
pedagogy and educational psychology in new and innovative ways by
demonstrating how critical pedagogy, postformal psychology, and
Enlightenment science, seemingly separate and distinct disciplines,
are actually part of the same larger, contextualized, complex whole
from the inner most developmentally-fixed biological context of
human faculties to the perpetually shifting, socially and
politically constructed context of individual schema and human
civilization.
The text s uniqueness stems from its bold attempt to connect the
postformal critical constructivist/pedagogy work of Joe Kincheloe
and others to Western science through a shared, although previously
misunderstood, critique and rejection of crude forms of social
control, which the psychologists call behaviorism and Western
scientists identify as mechanical philosophy. This book therefore
argues that critical pedagogy which includes, among others,
anarchist, Marxist, feminist, Indigenous (globally conceived),
Afro-Caribbean/American, and postmodern traditions and
critical/constructivist educational psychology have much to gain by
engaging previously rejected work in critical solidarity, that is,
without compromising one s values or democratic commitments. The
goal of this book is therefore to contribute to this vision of
developing a more transgressive and transformational educational
psychology. "
