This book develops an argument for a historicist and
non-foundationalist notion of rationality based on an
interpretation of Wittgenstein of the Philosophical Investigations
and On Certainty. The book examines two notions of rationality-a
universal versus a constitutive conception - and their significance
for educational theory. The former advanced by analytic philosophy
of education as a form of conceptual analysis is based on a
mistaken reading of Wittgenstein. Analytic philosophy of education
used a reading of Wittgenstein's philosophy of language to set up
and justify an absolute, universal and ahistorical notion of
rationality. By contrast, the book examines the underlying
influence of the later Wittgenstein on the historicist turn in
philosophy of science as a basis for a non-foundationalist and
constitutive notion of rationality which is both historical and
cultural, and remains consistent with wider developments in
philosophy, hermeneutics and social theory. This book aims to
understand the philosophical motivation behind this view, to
examine its intellectual underpinnings and to substitute this
universal conception of rationality by reference to a Hegelian
interpretation of the later Wittgenstein that emphasizes his status
as an anti-foundational thinker.
