Really nice overview of David A. Schön, and especially The Reflective Practitioner, which is analyzed and criticized in detail. "Taken together, the themes that emerged in Beyond the Stable State provided a rich and highly suggestive basis for theorizing about both ‘the learning society' and ‘the learning organization'," writes Mark K. Smith in this post from 2001... It was the contribution of two of Schon's contemporaries – Paulo Freire – that takes us forward. The former's focus on learning webs, the debilitating impact of professionalization, and the need for an ecological appreciation; and the latter's championship of dialogue and concern to combat oppression allow for a more committed and informed engagement with the ‘learning society' and ‘learning organization'."
