These thinkers provide valuable perspectives on the nature and purpose of interpretation in everyday life. The implications of these perspectives for the development of a transformative pedagogy - and for the renewal of an educated public - are examined in relation to the current contexts of higher education within a knowledge society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Nixon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147252327X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472523273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Jon Nixon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065817657599,"sku":"9781472523273","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8343becd-cf75-4767-a04c-10130b6ab34e.jpg?v=1685403673","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/interpretive-pedagogies-for-higher-education-jon-nixon-9781472523273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
