“Epistemology” - Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education

Key questions to consider
from the readings:
1. What is truth as solidarity?
2. Why does the scientist replace the priest?
• How do we cease to see the scientist as a
priest, but instead as a moral exemplar?
• The answers to this question have
bearing on how we think of the creators
of tests and the analyzers of school
performance.
• Why does he argue that the only virtue
of scientists is moral virtue, not the
virtue of rationality?
