Sommario/riassunto

Radical Pedagogy articulates a new theory of identity based on recent research in psychoanalysis, social psychology and cognitive science. It explains how developing identity is a prerequisite for developing intelligence, personal well being, and the amelioration of social problems, including violence, prejudice and substance abuse.
