Rather than dismissing theory writing as pretentious and abstract, \u003cem\u003eConfronting Theory\u003c\/em\u003e examines its principal concepts from the perspective of academic psychology and shows that although many of these analyses sound like revolutionary psychological theory, few, if any, have empirical implications that students can evaluate. By considering the educational implications of cultural theory, \u003cem\u003eConfronting Theory\u003c\/em\u003e will empower students with arguments, not just opinions, about the increasingly idealist and irrelevant anti-realist curricula they confront in their humanities education in today's universities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841503177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841503172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Intellect (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.70w x 0.40d","brand":"Philip Bell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088855281919,"sku":"9781841503172","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2a2d091-ad26-4481-962f-59687620e285.jpg?v=1769106916","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confronting-theory-philip-bell-9781841503172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
