Gersten, Russell; Irvin, Larry

Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), v26 n4 p281-84 Win 2001

In this response to an article that explores the practice of social inquiry in professional work by drawing from the democratic ethics of John Dewey (Danforth, 2001), tensions, unresolved issues, and seeming paradoxes in Dewey's thinking are discussed. The value of multi-perspective and multi-voiced inquiry is emphasized. (Contains references.) (CR)
