A Novel

Violeta [English Edition]

'For a number of years Michael Tan’s writings about contemporary arguments and developments in science and technology education have, through his breadth and depth of thinking across a very wide range of relevant fields, challenged and informed me in very helpful ways. Rather than me write about why this has been so, I suggest you turn to the final paragraph of Chapter 1 for a hint of the spectrum of fundamental ideas Michael will present to the reader as they work through this important volume.'
- Richard Gunstone, Emeritus Professor of Science and Technology Education, Monash University
'Michael Tan challenges us to rethink science and STEM education – indeed education more generally – to address the needs of a new century. Focusing on moving beyond schooling as reproduction to advocate innovation, creativity and forms of knowledge that serve the new millennium, in this book Michael has offered productive lines of attack for a reenvisaged curriculum. Pulling together a wide array of scholars to challenge our thinking and seek ways forward, he has crafted a narrative that is both educative and stimulating.'
- Russell Tytler, Alfred Deakin Professor and Chair of Science Education, Deakin University

Praise for the first edition:
'In this introductory volume, Garson offers a concise summary of several debates surrounding the interface between philosophy of biology and philosophy of mind. … Written with admirable clarity and wit, this book would make a great secondary text in an upper-level philosophy of biology or philosophy of mind course. Summing Up: Recommended.' - Philip Jenkins, CHOICE
'In this accessible and interesting book, Justin Garson shows why philosophy matters to understanding the biology of the mind. Scientists have made great progress on questions about altruism, free will, consciousness, and the impact of genes on mental activity, but it takes a philosopher to provide the needed clarification, connection, and caution. Garson is that philosopher.' - Elliott Sober, University of Wisconsin - Madison, USA
'A wonderful, clear, lively, informative, and extremely accessible book. It is a terrific introduction to the philosophy of mind for those who want to explore the relation between our biological and psychological natures.' - Karen Neander, Duke University, USA
'A wide-ranging, well-informed, and highly readable introduction to current debates in the philosophy of mind and psychology, presented through the lens of philosophy of biology and general philosophy of science. Garson's biologically oriented approach to the issues makes so much sense, one can't help but wonder why it's not more standard in the literature; by rights, it should be.' - Philip Robbins, University of Missouri, USA
