Description
Summary:Positivism and Antipositivism in Argentina: Positivism in Argentina was once a dominant influence on the thought of many intellectuals and, through them, on the very cultural formation of the country. This makes the approach of this book particularly interesting, as it subjects the currents of positivism and anti-positivism to a serious critical examination. By identifying the role played by both trends within Argentine thought, and furthermore by clarifying their influence, this book points out the derivations of positivism and anti-positivism not only in culture, but also in the local historical process. Its author, Berta Perelstein, was a pedagogue and communist intellectual whose contributions go beyond educational thought and reflection and extend into the great cultural debates, such as the one she proposes in this pioneer work, only now re-edited.
El positivismo en la Argentina tuvo en su momento una influencia preponderante sobre el pensamiento de muchos intelectuales y a través de ellos, en la propia formación cultural del país. De ahí que resulte por demás interesante el enfoque de esta obra que somete a las corrientes del positivismo y del antipositivismo a un serio examen crítico. Al ubicar el papel que tuvieron unas y otras dentro del pensamiento argentino, y más aún, al aclarar esas influencias, señala las derivaciones no solo en la cultura, sino también en nuestro proceso histórico. Su autora, Berta Perelstein, fue una pedagoga e intelectual comunista cuyos aportes desbordan el pensamiento y la reflexión educativa y se proyectan a los grandes debates culturales como el que propone en una obra precursora y hasta ahora no reeditada.
