The Myth of Objectivity in Public Education: Toward the Intersubjective Teaching of Religion.
Moore, Mary Elizabeth Mullino
Religious Education, v90 n2 p207-25 Spr 1995
Criticizes the concept that secular, rationalist thought is more objective than religious thought. Maintains that all human inquiry and interaction is rife with subjective bias and assumptions. Defends the teaching of religious subjects in public schools on this basis and calls for an "intersubjective" approach (acknowledging rationalist and religious biases). (MJP)
