Short review of Tara Fenwick's Learning Through Experience: Troubling Orthodoxies and Intersecting Questions. "It would seem important to take Fenwick's advice seriously," writes the reviewer. "We should stop our focus on 'learning as a rational exercise' and pay much greater attention to the 'fundamental dimensions of bodily, psychic, cultural, and social engagements.'" Some discussion with which I am in agreement about the fall of the logical positivist paradigm - a development the news of which has yet to reach some administrative offices. But the pull-back from Positivism is not a license for "anything goes," and in particular, not the contentalist philosophers against which Positivists, quite rightly, railed. MS Word document.
