The Intersubjective World and Education: A Response to C. A. Bowers.
Soltis, Jonas F.
American Journal of Education, v93 n4 p504-10 Aug 1985
Presents agreement to Bowers's essay "Culture against Itself." Concludes that students should be taught tradition and have their consciousnesses raised to realize they cannot exist, think, or act outside their culture and tradition. A sociocentric, not egocentric, approach to creating knowledge and meaning will lead to positive results for society. (SA)
