description: The endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica colonizes Arabidopsis thaliana roots and promotes plant performance, growth and resistance/tolerance against abiotic and biotic stress. Here we demonstrate that the benefits for the plant increase when the two partners are co-cultivated under stress (limited access to nutrient, exposure to heavy metals and salt, light and osmotic stress, pathogen infection). Moreover, physical contact between P. indica and Arabidopsis roots is necessary for optimal growth promotion, and chemical communication cannot replace the physical contact. Lower nutrient availability down-regulates and higher nutrient availability up-regulates the plant defense system including the expression of pathogenesis-related genes in roots. High light, osmotic and salt stresses support the beneficial interaction between the plant and the fungus. P. indica reduces stomata closure and H2O2 production after Alternaria brassicae infection in leaves and suppresses the defense-related accumulation of the phytohormone jasmonic acid. Thus, shifting the growth conditions toward a stress promotes the mutualistic interaction, while optimal supply with nutrients or low stress diminishes the benefits for the plant in the symbiosis.
title: Combining instrumental data rescue techniques with meteorological metrology to develop applied historical climatological analyses
Creators: name: Burt, Stephen
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2021

description: The linking theme within this thesis is meteorological data rescue, whereby records of past weather and climate in handwritten manuscript or published form are digitised and made available to the wider research community, thereby adding to our knowledge of past weather and climate. Specifically, the hourly observational record from the Ben Nevis Summit Observatory (1883-1904) and the daily climatological series from the Radcliffe Observatory in Oxford (since 1772) and Durham University Observatory (since 1841) are examined in detail – the records from Oxford and Durham comprising respectively the longest and second-longest single-site temperature and rainfall series in England. Both records have been affected to a minor extent by urban growth, and one paper explains ‘picking apart’ the signal of Oxford’s urban heat island from observed background climate warming during the last 150 years. Oxford’s non-instrumental records have also been used to publish a unique near-200 year record of thunderstorm occurrence in the city, while the recentlypublished twice-daily barometric pressure series from Durham (1843-1960) — by far the longest such record in northern England — fills a large spatial and temporal gap in reanalysis source data, and will lead to improvements in atmospheric circulation analyses. The validity of the dataset was investigated using a reanalysis dataset as a novel underpinning benchmark to identify errors in the digitised series. Throughout the published works included within this thesis, the importance of both instrumental and non-instrumental metrology and metadata in assembling, analysing and publishing the data series are emphasised; specific research relating to the performance of air temperature sensors and the calibration of meteorological instruments is described. Finally, data rescue and modern synoptic analyses are combined to prepare original case studies of significant climatological events, with particular emphasis on extremes of atmospheric pressure over the North Atlantic and the British and Irish Isles within the last 200 years. Examples of the latter are presented, from a body of work now spanning almost 40 years. Individually and in total, published works included in this thesis contribute to society’s collective body of knowledge on, and thus improved understanding of, past and present weather and climate within the British and Irish Isles and north-west Europe.

description: In this paper, a systematic investigation of frequency response of CdS and CdS:Cu quantum dot devices, following microwave-assisted synthesis, is presented. Phase of the output relative to the input as a function of frequency is also recorded to have some insight into the observed low-pass filter characteristics of the as-fabricated devices. The as-fabricated quantum dot devices are found to have all the characteristics of a classical low-pass filter with optimization of gain, phase shift and cut-off frequency in the band-gap range of ‘2.5–2.6’ eV. The as-fabricated devices are tested for demodulation and satisfactory operation is obtained. This suggests for employing such nanoscale devices in the field of communications.

description: This study aimed to compare growth performance and heavy metal (HM) accumulation at different cutting positions of Salix species grown in multi-metal culture. Three Salix species stems cut at different positions (apical to basal) were grown hydroponically for four weeks. The plants were then treated for three weeks with 0, 5, 10, and 20 μM Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn, resulting in total metal concentrations of 0, 20, 40, and 80 μM. The growth parameters and HM content in shoots and initial cutting were measured. Results showed that, compared with S. fragilis, S. matsudana grew more poorly in uncontaminated condition but grew better and accumulated lower metal in shoots under mixed HM treatment. In addition, cuttings from apical parent stem position exhibited poorer growth performance before and after treatment, as well as greater metal content in shoots than base parts under the HM treatment. These results suggest that S. matsudana may undergo a special mechanism to hinder metals in the initial cutting, thus mitigating growth damage. The apical portion also showed poor resistance against the invasion of mixed HMs because of the immature structure. Therefore, in the selection of phytoremediation plants, metal accumulation ability is not proportional to growth performance.
T.he Potential of Public Education

description: To me, one of the most interesting of all educational studies is the study of educational aims. As put forward by various individuals and groups, they reveal a variety of intriguing things, not only the way people think about education but the way they think about life in its most important manifestations. The study of educational philosophies is equally revealing - for our educational values, of course, are in many instances clear extensions of the more general values which we strongly hold. As a practical exercise, however, the promulgation of both educational aims and educational philosophies turns out to be somewhat less fruitful than we could wish.

Education Vouchers: An Administrative Challenge?
Creators: name: PATERSON, IAN W.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: In discussions of the financing of elementary and secondary schools, the distinction between public finance and public provision of educational services is rarely drawn. Consequently, the assumption has hardened that they are reciprocal terms. This paper challenges this assumption to suggest that public finance is more appropriate than public provision of educational services. Further, it suggests that public finance for education can be effectively handled by education vouchers. An education voucher is a tax-financed coupon, specifying an amount based onb an annual cost per pupil for education which, distributed to all parents, entitles the child to a place in any approved school.

Another Look at Theory and Practice in Education
Creators: name: POWELL, J. P.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: The activities in which teachers, doctors and lawyers engage when they are performing their professional tasks are compounded of a mixture of practical skills and abstract theories which issue in actions. Teaching, for example, is not simply a piece of behaviour on a par with sneezing or breathing: it is an activity governed by the intention to bring about learning on the part of pupils and is thus associated with some theories - I use this term in a very general sense here - concerned with how this intention may best be realized. Practical activities of this kind are always theory-laden in that they would be quite unintelligible if they were simply characterized by the doing of certain things rather than others. Such activities as those which are intended to bring about learning, the restoration of health, or success for a client in court, are necessarily conducted against a background of theory: there is thus no sharp contrast between theory and practice such that there could be some practice without any theory. This is a point worth noting since it is not unheard of for practitioners to conceive of themselves as 'practical men' who can get along perfectly well without the aid of theory.

The Role of the Foundational Studies In The. Preparation of Elementary Teachers
Creators: name: BROUDY, HARRY S.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: I shall begin the discussion of the role of the foundational studies in the preparation of elementary teachers by registering some dissatisfaction with the terms "foundation" and "foundational." A brave band of professors at Columbia Teachers College deserve our gratitude for the idea of foundational studies, but not for the term. Inevitably the word makes one think of the building trades, or those great philanthropic geese that lay the golden eggs for educational reform, or the art of corsetry. All these connotations have their roots in the notion of a beginning. The foundation of the edifice is the first layer of the building, and when one founds an establishment he institutes or originates it; presumably an establishment is called a foundation when its goal is to assist in the founding of other enterprises. As for the foundation garments worn by women, they too are supposed to be the first layer of clothing, as well as the means of establishing a basic contour for the figure's subsequent adornment.

Thinking as a Disposition
Creators: name: SCHULTE, JOHN M.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: The development of thinking is general'ly supported as an important objective of education, 'but there is little agreement about the kinds of thinking that should be stressed in the classroom or the methods by which the processes of thinking can be improved. Regardless of an individual's experiences in a classroom, it is obvious th:a:t he engages in some sort of mental activity during every waking moment. When his thinking is not focused on a particular subject, there is still a parade of half-formed images, memories, speculations, and anticipations passing across his consciousness. Thus, the teacher who makes thinking an objective of education without specifying the kind, or kinds, of operations he is referring to by the term "thinking" can be assured of reaching his objective, but he should realize that the objective was met long before it was formed, and his efforts had little to do with the achievement.

description: The distribution of the test statistics of homogeneity tests is often unknown, requiring the estimation of the critical values through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The computation of the critical values at low α, especially when the distribution of the statistics changes with the series length (sample cardinality), requires a considerable number of simulations to achieve a reasonable precision of the estimates (i.e. 106 simulations or more for each series length). If, in addition, the test requires a noteworthy computational effort, the estimation of the critical values may need unacceptably long runtimes. To overcome the problem, the paper proposes a regression-based refinement of an initial MC estimate of the critical values, also allowing an approximation of the achieved improvement. Moreover, the paper presents an application of the method to two tests: SNHT (standard normal homogeneity test, widely used in climatology), and SNH2T (a version of SNHT showing a squared numerical complexity). For both, the paper reports the critical values for α ranging between 0.1 and 0.0001 (useful for the p-value estimation), and the series length ranging from 10 (widely adopted size in climatological change-point detection literature) to 70,000 elements (nearly the length of a daily data time series 200 years long), estimated with coefficients of variation within 0.22%. For SNHT, a comparison of our results with approximated, theoretically derived, critical values is also performed; we suggest adopting those values for the series exceeding 70,000 elements.

description: During a survey on plant-parasitic nematodes in South Africa, a population of Boleodorus was recovered in association with grasses. This species characterised by a conical lip region lacking incisures. Stylet length 9-11 µm, lateral field with four incisures, post-vulval sac less than the corresponding body diameter. Tail conically elongated, often hooked at the end, 51-58 µm long. The nblast analysis based on the D2-D3 segment of 28S rDNA of the South African population of B. volutus, revealed 98% similarity to the North American B. volutus (MT994501). The phylogenetic analysis put the South African population of B. volutus together with the other B. volutus and unidentified Boleodorus with a 100 posterior probability support. In addition, the SEM photographs are provided for the first time for B. volutus. This is the first complete report of this species in South Africa.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

The Definition of a University

description: The world is unusually full of doubts and confusion, and among them is a very considerable confusion about the nature of a university and the character of a university education. Perhaps this confusion is greatest in those parts of the world where, because universities are an old-established feature of the landscape, they have, until recently, been accepted without very much reflection. Moreover, universities have always been manifold and somewhat ambiguous institutions which naturally resist attempts to define their character. But the creation of many new universities, the appearance of students in large numbers who come with mixed and uncertain expectations, as well as other changes, have shaken us out of the mood of acceptance into a mood of reflection. All over the world universities have now got used to hearing themselves talked about in general terms.

description: DNA–protein interactions, including DNA–antibody complexes, have both fundamental and practical significance. In particular, antibodies against double-stranded DNA play an important role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Elucidation of structural mechanisms of an antigen recognition and interaction of anti-DNA antibodies provides a basis for understanding the role of DNA-containing immune complexes in human pathologies and for new treatments. Here we used Molecular Dynamic simulations of bimolecular complexes of a segment of dsDNA with a monoclonal anti-DNA antibody’s Fab-fragment to obtain detailed structural and physical characteristics of the dynamic intermolecular interactions. Using a computationally modified crystal structure of a Fab–DNA complex (PDB: 3VW3), we studied in silico equilibrium Molecular Dynamics of the Fab-fragment associated with two homologous dsDNA fragments, containing or not containing dimerized thymine, a product of DNA photodamage. The Fab-fragment interactions with the thymine dimer-containing DNA was thermodynamically more stable than with the native DNA. The amino acid residues constituting a paratope and the complementary nucleotide epitopes for both Fab–DNA constructs were identified. Stacking and electrostatic interactions were shown to play the main role in the antibody–dsDNA contacts, while hydrogen bonds were less significant. The aggregate of data show that the chemically modified dsDNA (containing a covalent thymine dimer) has a higher affinity toward the antibody and forms a stronger immune complex. These findings provide a mechanistic insight into formation and properties of the pathogenic anti-DNA antibodies in autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, associated with skin photosensibilization and DNA photodamage.

description: What follows is an apology for drama as a university study. I hope, however, that it avoids the thinly disguised plea for the status of the drama faculty which most such endeavors are. My concern here is with the undergraduate student who elects a major concentration in the field of drama in the expectation of achieving that increasingly more elusive academic amalgam, a simultaneous degree and education. If changing approaches in the university disciplines, rapid growth in content and techniques as well as changes in student attitudes are making such an expectation difficult to fulfill in other areas, they make it doubly so in the study of drama.

description: The quest for symmetry seems a very persistent human preoccupation. Man has ever been a system-building animal in response to the chaos and disorder with which nature seems to have confronted him. This tendency has assisted him to adapt to and subsequently exercise some control over his environment. A product of this tendency has been a symbolic treasure house of past experiences and some very instrumental conceptual schemes which have enabled man to construct ever more sophisticated systems.

description: Canada's educators, like its politicians (and like politicians and educators in other places), are confronted with what are perhaps the two essential data of this century - a society which is convergent but in which there are clearly distinguishable and rather permanent variations. The convergence, or tendency for Canadians to become more like each other, that is accompanying rural-to-urban migration, industrialization, improved roads and television, is largely in the direction of the urban, middle-class, large-scale-organization way of life; the persisting variations are chiefly socioeconomic and regional, although there are important religious and ethnic differences as well.

description: Copper oxide nanomaterials (nano-CuOs) are widely used and can be inadvertently introduced into estuarine and marine environments. We analyzed the effects of different nano-CuOs (a synthesized and a less-pure commercial form), as well as ionic copper (CuSO4) on embryo development in the white sea urchin, a well-known marine model. After 96 h of development with both nano-CuO exposures, we did not detect significant oxidative damage to proteins but did detect decreases in total antioxidant capacity. We show that the physicochemical characteristics of the two nano-CuOs play an essential role in their toxicities. Both nano-CuOs were internalized by embryos and their differential dissolution was the most important toxicological parameter. The synthesized nano-CuO showed greater toxicity (EC50 = 450 ppb of copper) and had increased dissolution (2.5% by weight over 96 h) as compared with the less-pure commercial nano-CuO (EC50 = 5395 ppb of copper, 0.73% dissolution by weight over 96 h). Copper caused specific developmental abnormalities in sea urchin embryos including disruption of the aboral-oral axis as a result in changes to the redox environment caused by dissolution of internalized nano-CuO. Abnormal skeleton formation also occurred.
Concealed Aims of Education and How We Achieve Them

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: To reveal concealed aims is logically to destroy their characteristic and their hidden power. This result may not, however, apply in the field of public education. Our first concealed aim in society and its schools has been to obscure perception of stark reality, and we have been so successful that the exoteric majority will be unable to discern the truth of these disclosures. Educational historians will recall the Massachusetts Education Act of 1647, in which that "old deluder, Satan" is charged with having kept men in ignorance - first by preventing publication of the Scriptures in the vernacular, and later by discouraging efforts to teach the young to read. Whether Satanic in origin or not, the devices of today are much more sophisticated. The educational significance of Marshall McLuhan's dictum, "the medium is the message," is that there is no longer any message clear and definite enough to distinguish true or false. This makes it possible for people to live in a fog - or several contradictory fogs - and cling concurrently to traditional "truth" and modern denials. The coherent reasoning of hot print, the emotional response from cool T.V., and the church whatever its temperature cannot really be in opposition because in each case the medium not the content is the message. All the school has to do to keep the young in a daze is nothing in particular - and this it does. This is why there is enthusiastic advocacy of E.T.V. - that is, of its "use" as a medium - but relatively little support for critical study in school of the content of television programs to which pupils devote much of their time. Critical appreciation of the productions of other mass media, except books, is similarly neglected in school. This leaves pupils able to focus their eyes but not their minds, so that the message, if any, is just the medium itself. A neo-Roman circus.

description: Agricultural intermediaries perform important functions in the African food and agriculture sector. Digital solutions targeted at these intermediaries could improve their service delivery while helping digital agricultural (D4Ag) service providers cover the last mile to producers. To determine how to empower agricultural intermediaries with digital technologies, it is important first to understand how they are already making use of and are impacted by these technologies in their professional activities. To this end, data was collected through 1,571 in-person interviews with extension workers, output dealers and input dealers in Ghana, Kenya, Mali and Nigeria. The results show that intermediaries make extensive use of ICTs in their work, much more so than the low adoption rates of D4Ag solutions would suggest. Mobile phones clearly dominate the digital technologies, most commonly smartphones, which are often used daily. Three areas of impact can be identified. First, ICTs facilitate information sharing between intermediaries and other value chain actors which emerged as the main activity and benefit across the three groups. Second, ICTs facilitate networking among value chain actors. In the case of dealers, these networks are mainly used for two-way business transactions while extension agents take advantage of ICTs to interact and share information with a wide range of actors. Third, ICTs reduce transaction costs for input and output dealers through better access to information about buyers, sellers and prices, better timing of produce / input purchases, faster payments from customers and reduced travel times. Given the widespread use of ICTs among agricultural intermediaries, D4Ag service providers can capitalize on intermediaries’ existing digital skills, technological capacities and digitally enabled networks to expand their reach, in particular to producers who are still not universally accessible via ICTs, but also to other actors in the African food and agriculture sector.

description: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are often suspended in Pluronic® surfactants by sonication, which may confound toxicity studies because sonication of surfactants can create degradation products that are toxic to mammalian cells. Here, we present a toxicity assessment of Pluronic® F-108 with and without suspended CNTs using embryonic zebrafish as an in vivo model. Pluronic® sonolytic degradation products were toxic to zebrafish embryos just as they were to mammalian cells. When the toxic Pluronic® fragments were removed, there was little effect of pristine multi-walled CNTs (pMWNTs), carboxylated MWNTs (cMWNTs) or pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes (pSWNTs) on embryo viability and development, even at high concentrations. A gel electrophoretic method coupled with Raman imaging was developed to measure the bioaccumulation of CNTs by zebrafish embryos, and dose-dependent uptake of CNTs was observed. These data indicate that embryos accumulate pMWNTs, cMWNTs and pSWNTs yet there is very little embryo toxicity.
Higher Education and the New M,en of Power i,n Society

description: It is to the place of higher education in our society that discussion in this paper is directed. The concern here, however, is not with the need of extending the benefits of a higher education, nor with the problem of securing the necessary financial support for such an extension. That need has been well demonstrated and that problem fully explored by the Commission on the Financing of Higher Education in Canada established by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.1 What this paper is concerned with is the problem of the consequences for society when a large part, but by no means the whole, of our body of young people are provided with the benefits of a university education. It is about the young people left behind - those young people who, for one reason or another, fail to mount the educational ladder to success and whose position in society, as a consequence of the growing importance of higher education, worsens relatively rather than improves. Nothing that is said in this regard should be taken to suggest that we ought to slacken in any degree our efforts to extend the benefits of a higher education. If, underlying the discussion in this paper, there is implied an end to which we should strive it is that the whole of our population should eventually come to enjoy the benefits of such an education, whether secured in a university or some other type of institution. But the realization of such an end is not yet in sight, and in the meantime it is urgent to take account of the consequences for society of the very considerably increased importance which has been given to higher education.

description: "Culturally deprived" children and "cultural deprivation" are terms that have been extensively used and heard in recent years. Perhaps enough time has now passed to warrant an examination of and reflection upon the idea of cultural deprivation in the tradition of the sociology of knowledgelooking into its nature, social and cultural context, development, impact, and interest group support and opposition.1 The years from about 1955 through early 1967 will be surveyed, with emphasis upon the 1960's

description: In most countries of the world, renewed consideration has been given recently to the dilemma of providing educational opportunity to the greates number of children while maintaining standards of excellence, especially in secondary and higher schools for the more academically able. Although the attention given to one or the other of these goals depends on what educators and the general public believe has been the imbalance in the particular system, neither objective can be dismissed as unimportant, and educators taking an extreme mass or elitist position do so at their own professional peril.

description: The rapid proliferation of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) in industry and the environment requires realistic toxicity assessments based on approaches that consider the biological complexity of ecosystems. Here we assessed the acute toxicity of carbonate-coated AgNP and, for comparison, AgNO3 (Ag+) by using a model system consisting of decomposing plant litter and the associated fungal and bacterial decomposers as central players in the functioning of stream ecosystems. Little variation in size and surface charge during the experiment indicated that the AgNP used were essentially stable. AgNP disrupted bacterial growth (≤83% reduction in protein biosynthesis, EC50 = 0.3 μM), clearly affected fungal growth (≤61% reduction in ergosterol synthesis, EC50 = 47 μM) with both endpoints more sensitive to AgNP than to Ag+. Fungal reproduction, in contrast, was stimulated by AgNP, but not Ag+, at concentrations up to 25 μM. Both AgNP and Ag+ also stimulated extracellular alkaline phosphatase but reduced leucine aminopeptidase, whereas β-glucosidase was stimulated by AgNP and reduced by Ag+. Importantly, the provision of cysteine, a chelating ligand that complexes free Ag+, failed to alleviate AgNP toxicity to microbial growth, clearly demonstrating particle-mediated toxicity independent of the presence of ionic silver. This contrasts with the observed inhibition of leucine aminopeptidase by Ag+, which accounted for 2–6% of the total silver in treatments receiving AgNP. These results show that although outcomes of AgNP and Ag+ exposure assessed by different functional endpoints vary widely, AgNP strongly interferes with bacterial growth and a range of other microbial processes, resulting in severe consequences for natural microbial communities and ecosystem functioning.
Britain and Japan: Twins of Time and Tradition

description: Among the more remarkable social phenomena of the present day are two islands on either side of the world, Japan in the Pacific and Britain in the Atlantic. What is remarkable about these two islands is the way in which they resemble each other in their development, in their situation, in their historical and social movements. Each island lies adjacent to a large land mass, Japan next to Asia, and Britain off the coast of Europe. Japan's 143,000 square miles as against Britain's 96,000 square miles may appear to be unequal, but when one considers the habitable portions of these two lands this inequality disappears. Again, Japan's approximately 100,000,000 people are almost twice those in Britain, but the population density of the two islands is of the order of 630 for Japan as against 550 for Britain, two figures which underline the proximity of their population problems. Apart from the coal in Britain, each of these islands is devoid of any other large body of natural resources and is dependent not only upon the import of raw materials with which to undertake manufacture of any kind but upon the cultivation of its human resources to an almost unprecedented degree. Although each island devotes a large portion of its land to agriculture, nevertheless they are both dependent upon other lands for food. Again, around Osaka, Japan has the Black Country counterpart of England, and has outlying islands which are not unlike those off the coast of Britain.

Ideology and Educational Policy

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative

description: The increasing distrust of vaguely expressed political and social ideals that is perhaps best symbolized by the title of Daniel Bell's The End of Ideology has made it increasingly difficult to relate educational problems to societal problems with any degree of logical or scientific warrant. But is this distrust of political and social philosophy, this distrust of ideology, merely another ideological proclamation? What accounts for our hesitancy to venture into thinking about the educational development of persons who are capable of alleviating or resolving contemporary societal difficulties? Is this hesitancy due to the indirect support of education resting upon suppressed premises, i.e., upon an ideology?
