In this thoughtful book, Stephen Smith shows how parents and educators can become aware of the positive value of risk in children's lives and how they can be challenged to take risks that are worth their while. This text is a how so much more than a how to book. It shows by evocative example and provocative questions how adults can help children mature with confidence and a strong sense of physical competence.The analysis shows the place, silence, atmosphere, challenge, encounter, practice and possibility of risk-taking. It consistently and conscientiously draws attention to a careful, solicitous manner of being with children.

Lost in the raging debate over the validity of social construction is the question of what, precisely, is being constructed. Facts, gender, quarks, reality? Is it a person? An object? An idea? A theory? Each entails a different notion of social construction, Ian Hacking reminds us. His book explores an array of examples to reveal the deep issues underlying contentious accounts of reality. Especially troublesome in this dispute is the status of the natural sciences, and this is where Hacking finds some of his most telling cases, from the conflict between biological and social approaches to mental illness to vying accounts of current research in sedimentary geology. He looks at the issue of child abuse - very much a reality, though the idea of child abuse is a social product. He also cautiously examines the ways in which advanced research on new weapons influences not the content but the form of science. In conclusion, Hacking comments on the "culture wars" in anthropology, in particular a spat between leading ethnographers over Hawaii and Captain Cook. Written with generosity and gentle wit by one of our most distinguished philosophers of science, this wise book brings a much needed measure of clarity to current arguments about the nature of knowledge.

Neerslag van een studiedag die in maart 1999 georganiseerd werd door het Universitair Centrum voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking (UCOS) en het Centrum Leo Apostel (CLEA). Doel: de vaststelling onderzoeken dat communicatieproblemen tussen culturen veelal te maken hebben met het anders denken over en het anders zien en beleven van de realiteit. In die context bogen de auteurs zich over een aantal vragen: Is het "andere" werkelijk zo onoverbrugbaar "anders"? Of is dit slechts een interpretatie? En zijn er in de realiteit niet veel meer gelijkenissen dan we vermoeden? Hebben we niet sedert geruime tijd dezelfde soort basisuitgangspunten als de nieuwste bevindingen in de wetenschappen erbij betrokken worden - bijvoorbeeld in verband met ruimte en tijd? Enerzijds willen de auteurs kennissystemen uit andere culturen "de-exotiseren" via een vergelijking met de nieuwste bevindingen in de wetenschap. Anderzijds zijn ze van mening dat ook de wetenschappen baat kunnen hebben bij een vergelijking met enkele elementen uit de Afrikaanse kennissystemen.
