'Social limits to learning: essays on the archeology of domination, resistance, and experience' (Edited and with an Introduction by Marcel van der Linden, translated by William Templer): Gottfried Mergner, 2005 New York and Oxford: Berghahn Books 160 pp. ISBN 1-84545-004-3 (hbk)

Abstract

This book introduces Gottfried's Mergner's social and educational theory to non-German readers for the first time. Following Marcel van der Linden's introduction, which maps the major influences on and themes in Mergner's work, the anthology presents a collection of Mergner's publications in non-chronological order. The anthology begins and ends with Mergner's latest publications, both of which present his 'theory of the social limits to learning'. The intervening chapters are a collection of historical and current case studies, philosophical reflections and critical commentaries.
