Pragmatist Philosophy for Critical Knowledge, Learning and Consciousness : A New Epistemological Framework for Education
Emerging from the confusion and chaos of neoliberal economic systems around the world, this book brings together a collection of major philosophical ideas from previous centuries and applies them to the practice of education.The book argues that pragmatist philosophy is the most appropriate to guide the organisation of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment.It outlines a number of philosophical dilemmas, exploring these in relation to particular philosophers and offers philosophical insights for educational practice.Further, the book proposes Critical Praxis Bricolage, an epistemological framework articulating a view that education practices are embedded in a social context.This reshapes formal education from being dominated by the market forces of neoliberalism, into a way of ethical life that respects the dignity and knowledgeability of each person and community regardless of background.Written in a narrative style, Pragmatist Philosophy for Critical Knowledge, Learning and Consciousness provides a philosophical paradigm of experience, culture and inquiry that actively connects with human interests of the everyday and with the distinctiveness of being human.This work will be of interest to researchers and higher degree students of education and philosophy of education.

Does foundation cause pimples?
Foundation can potentially cause pimples if it clogs the pores or irritates the skin. Some foundations contain ingredients that are comedogenic, meaning they can block pores and lead to breakouts. Additionally, if the foundation is not removed properly at the end of the day, it can contribute to the accumulation of dirt and oil on the skin, leading to pimples. It's important to choose non-comedogenic and oil-free foundations, and to cleanse the skin thoroughly to prevent breakouts.

Which foundation is natural?
A mineral foundation is considered to be the most natural option as it typically contains fewer synthetic ingredients and is free of preservatives, fragrances, and other potentially irritating chemicals. Mineral foundations are often made from natural minerals like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides, which provide coverage while allowing the skin to breathe. Additionally, mineral foundations are less likely to clog pores and are suitable for sensitive skin types.

The Philosophy Foundation Provocations : Philosophy for Secondary School
David Birch's Provocations: Philosophy for secondary school will help teachers to present ideas and stimulate discussions which both accommodate and engage adolescent appetites. Foreword by A. C. Grayling. Are human beings flawed? Is murder an act of insanity or just plain thoughtlessness?Do we need a soul?From the fall of Icarus to the rise of Caesar, this practical resource draws upon history, philosophy and literature to provoke students to think, question and wonder.Divided into chapters on the world, self, society and others, the book is designed to give secondary school teachers the means to listen rather than teach - and to allow the ideas and thoughts of students to form the centre of the lesson. It shares a set of mature and challenging philosophy sessions predicated on the pedagogical methods of The Philosophy Foundation, and which explore, among other things: Wagner and desire, Shakespeare and madness, Joan of Arc and gender, Faust and temptation, and Nostradamus and time.The sessions dare students to think philosophically, to generate and test ideas, and to gain deeper insights - and raise questions on slavery, consumerism, utopia, the nature of evil, the limits of freedom, belief in God, and a whole lot more. The book sets out a clear introductory outline on its use both in and out of the classroom, and contains helpful tips and advice to guide teachers to span the curriculum - covering areas applicable to history, geography, religious studies, science, art, English and citizenship.There is also an extensive bibliography for those who wish to explore the topics in greater depth.

What is the difference between a strip foundation and a raft foundation?
A strip foundation is a type of shallow foundation that is used to support a load-bearing wall or a line of columns. It is a long strip of concrete that runs along the perimeter of the building. On the other hand, a raft foundation is a type of shallow foundation that covers the entire footprint of the building. It is a thick concrete slab that distributes the load of the building evenly across the entire area. Raft foundations are typically used in areas with poor soil conditions or where the building is subjected to uneven settlement.

What is the difference between a strip foundation and a rigid foundation?
A strip foundation is a type of shallow foundation that is used to support a load-bearing wall or a line of columns. It is a continuous strip of concrete that supports the weight of the structure above it. On the other hand, a rigid foundation is a type of deep foundation that is used to transfer the load of a structure to deeper, more stable soil layers. Rigid foundations are typically used for tall or heavy structures where shallow foundations may not provide enough support.

What contribution does philosophy education make to learning about morality?
Philosophy education plays a crucial role in helping individuals explore and understand different ethical theories and perspectives on morality. By engaging with philosophical texts and debates, students are encouraged to think critically about moral issues, develop their own ethical reasoning skills, and reflect on their values and beliefs. This process of philosophical inquiry can deepen one's understanding of complex moral dilemmas, foster empathy and open-mindedness, and ultimately contribute to the development of a more informed and ethical decision-making process.
