A democratic and intersectional reconstruction of education must build on and synthesize perspectives of classical philosophy of education, Deweyean radical pragmatism, Freirean critical pedagogy, poststructuralism, and critical theories of gender, race, class, sexuality, ethnicity, disability, indigeneity, and more, while criticizing obsolete idealist, elitist, and antidemocratic aspects of traditional concepts of education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArticulating a metatheory for the philosophy of education, while providing a historical genealogy and grounding of key themes, \u003ci\u003eCritical Theory and Pedagogy\u003c\/i\u003e argues for a democratic reconstruction of education that overcomes traditional, limiting, and oppressive aspects--what Marx and Engels saw as \"the ruling ideas of the ruling class\" and bell hooks reminds us includes the colonization of subjects into White, Patriarchal Capitalism--and embraces alternative pedagogies and principles suitable for the present age. This project includes developing multiple critical literacies as a response to digital technologies and developing critical pedagogies to meet the challenges of globalization, multiculturalism, and institutionalized racism, classism, and sexism, while promoting radical democratization to counter the trend toward the imposition of a neo-liberal business model of education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouglas Kellner\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Research Professor of Education at UCLA and is author of many books on social theory, politics, history, philosophy, and culture, including \u003ci\u003eHerbert Marcuse and the Crisis of Marxism\u003c\/i\u003e and six edited volumes of his collected papers.
