What is the main problem of contemporary education? Rasoul
Nejadmehr argues that the cardinal problem with education is that
it does not have an adequate notion of truth underpinning it.
Thinkers mainly tend to veer towards two poles - absolutism and
relativism. While a one-sided tendency toward absolutism leads to
reified categories of thought and alienation, a tendency toward
relativism leads to lack of universality and nihilism. Education,
Science and Truth suggests a way out by bridging not only divides
between and within analytical and continental philosophy but also
those of modernism and postmodernism. By using a range of issues,
disciplines and literature, Nejadmehr formulates a new version of
the concept of objectivity based on the inclusion of multiple
perspectives, including ones from art, philosophy and marginalized
groups.
