Worlds of Childhood!: 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' chapters 1 and 2

Monday, July 7, 2008

Post any comments or questions about chapters 1 and 2 here.

Anonymous said...: I got a question for Chapter 1.

"A different type of false perception occurs when a change in objective reality would threaten the individual or class interests of the perceiver" (pp. 52)

I don't quite understand what is meant by this, so if anyone could help me out, that'd be great.; July 8, 2008 at 9:04 PM

will get back on some comments of my own...; July 10, 2008 at 2:55 PM
Anonymous said...: Yeah I did the same thing too and re-read the page to get some more contextual information. You are probably right on the fact that it's probably not that important since Friere does have the tendancy to repeat himself quite frequently..it never hurts to ask though.

Thanks!; July 12, 2008 at 8:12 AM
