This chapter focuses on some of the tropes and underpinning assumptions and epistemic positions embedded in the current practices and writing of the sociology of education. We will consider the sociology of education as a modern human science mired in a set of unreflexive, redemptive, enlightenment rationalities, and the concomitant and messy relationships the sociology has with education, or more specifically schooling. We argue that the sociology of education has consistently failed to distance itself from the metaphysics, cruel optimism, and oppressions of modern schooling.

摘要

This chapter focuses on some of the tropes and underpinning assumptions and epistemic positions embedded in the current practices and writing of the sociology of education. We will consider the sociology of education as a modern human science mired in a set of unreflexive, redemptive, enlightenment rationalities, and the concomitant and messy relationships the sociology has with education, or more specifically schooling. We argue that the sociology of education has consistently failed to distance itself from the metaphysics, cruel optimism, and oppressions of modern schooling.
