Routledge Kantian Genesis of the Problem of Scientific Education

Explore the historical foundations of modern learning with Kantian Genesis of the Problem of Scientific Education by Routledge. This academic work examines the dominant educational paradigm of our time, known as scientific education, through a detailed historical lens. By applying archaeology and genealogy as investigative tools, the text brings hidden racial, colonial, and Eurocentric biases to light. Readers will follow a deep investigation into the emergence of scientific education and the racial and colonial inequities that developed alongside it in Western modernity. A significant portion of the analysis focuses on Immanuel Kant, a defining figure of the Western Enlightenment, and the role he played in establishing a Eurocentric framework. This book provides a necessary critique of how scientific education was built and how its historical roots continue to influence modern educational structures.
