Hyperreason

Hyperreason

A sufficiently clever person, sitting alone in their room, could work out all of the principles of existence. No faith and no sensory observations or experiments are required. No one needs to spend billions on a Large Hadron Collider. It's not an atom smasher you need but a bullshit and fallacy smasher. Hyperrationalism differs from rationalism in asserting that all rational truths are mathematical and that the universe is 100% mathematical. "Hyperreason" is the extraordinary story of the attempts of the rational to explain reality via thought alone. Find out about Thomas Aquinas's five rationalist proofs for the existence of God, Leibniz's ontological argument and principle of sufficient reason, Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, the Riemann hypothesis, the Multiverse theories of science and why the human brain - with its two hemispheres doing radically different types of Fourier mathematics - points the way to a complete understanding of reality. Welcome to the Mind of God!

Critical Pedagogy Primer

The Critical Pedagogy Primer provides a short, smart, and innovative introduction to this topic. Focusing on the traditions that helped create critical pedagogy, this primer concentrates on what the author calls an «evolving criticality». This refers both to the constantly changing and evolving nature of critical pedagogy, and to the need to keep the field on the cutting edge of scholarly innovation. These concerns are presented in a language that is designed for both uninitiated and sophisticated readers. The Critical Pedagogy Primer includes a glossary and a description of leading figures in the field of critical pedagogy. Anyone learning about critical pedagogy must read this book - it should be an assigned text at every school of education.
