Zusatztext "While space precludes detailed rehearsal of the rich and wide-ranging content of this work! the various virtues constitutive of [an 'epistemological presence'] are examined in the context of a philosophically capable review of recent and educationally relevant epistemological work from which this work also seeks to draw out significant implications for teaching and teacher education." -David Carr! Cambridge Journal of Education Informationen zum Autor Hugh Sockett is Professor of Education, Department of Public and International Affairs, College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, George Mason University.
