Descrizione
Riepilogo:This article provides a defence of my theoretical analysis of paradigm shift in contemporary religious education, particularly in light of Robert Jackson's (2015) article published in this journal: ‘Misrepresenting religious education's past and present in looking forward: Gearon using Kuhn's concepts of paradigm, paradigm shift and incommensurability'. The core of Jackson's concerns is my adaptation of Kuhn's concepts of paradigm, paradigm shift and incommensurability to religious education. Defending in turn my use of these concepts - of paradigm, paradigm shift and incommensurability - I conclude that Jackson's critique is in and of itself an apt demonstration of the position he seeks to attack. Drawing wider parallels with the methodological ‘paradigm wars' in the social sciences I argue that the paradigms are why religious education too goes to ‘war'.
