Their psychological world is largely devoid of syntax - of causal, differential, and temporal relations between events. The result is precisely what we see about us: a cultural world characterized by a vast subpopulation of young (and not so young) people for whom the past is an unsubstantiated rumour and the future an unacknowledged responsibility. Solway claims that contemporary educators have become cultural speculators who disregard a basic truth about how the mind develops: that it needs to be grounded in reality and time. In education, as in almost every other cultural institution, the sense of reality and the dynamic of time have "virtually" disappeared, leading to the deep disconnectedness we experience on every level of "human grammar," from the organization of the community to the organization of the sentence. Lying about the Wolf is not only an exploration of current pedagogical issues but also, and perhaps primarily, a cultural analysis for which the subject of education provides a focus. Solway argues that we cannot hope to solve the educational problem unless we are prepared to deal with the larger cultural predicament. 606 $aEDUCATION$2bisac 606 $aEssays$2bisac 606 $aEducational anthropology 606 $aTheory & Practice of Education$2HILCC 606 $aEducation$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 615 7$aEDUCATION 615 7$aEssays 615 0$aEducational anthropology 615 7$aTheory & Practice of Education 615 7$aEducation 615 7$aSocial Sciences 676 $a306.43 700 $aSolway$b David$01605141 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814643903321 996 $aLying about the Wolf: Essays in Culture and Education$94015185 997 $aUNINA
