We elaborate on approaches that extract communities and cluster blogs based

Overview: Demonstrates the underlying educational logic of the knowledge economy.Presents an alternative logic by building on Marxism.Makes a key contribution to contemporary Marxist thought, knowledge economy,.This book is the first to articulate and challenge the consensus on the right and left that knowledge is the key to any problem, demonstrating how the left’s embrace of knowledge productivity keeps it trapped within capital’s circuits. As the knowledge economy has forced questions of education to the forefront, the book engages pedagogy as an underlying yet neglected motor of capitalism

Overview: .`.Contemporary thinking on philosophy and the socialsciences has been dominated by analyses that emphasise the importanceof language in understanding societies and individuals functioningwithin them; important developments which have been under-utilised byresearchers in mathematics education. This book reaches out tocontemporary work in these broader fields; drawing on original sourcesin key areas such as Gadamer and Ricoeur‘s development ofhermeneutics, Habermas‘ work in critical social theory, Schutz‘ssocial phenomenology, Saussure‘s linguistics and thepost-structuralist analysis
