Cartesian Anxiety, Linguistic Communism, and Reading Texts.
Popkewitz, Thomas S.
Educational Researcher, v21 n5 p11-15 Jun-Jul 1992
F. Schrag is preoccupied with enhancing education, but who decides what enhancement is? He has confused positivism with empiricism. Positivism is a specific philosophical movement that is associated with logical positivism. The empiricism that Schrag labels positivism preceded the philosophic traditions. (SLD)
