Description
Summary:This critical review examines Jes Adolphsen's Problemer i Videnskab, positioning it as a foundational text for problem-based learning (PBL) within higher education. Amidst the neo-liberal constraints that have diminished philosophical engagement among students, we argue that this book proposes a much-needed transformative approach to scientific literacy. The review proceeds in three steps: First, we consider the book as both a source and resource; second, we show how the book opens a space for students to engage in PBL; and third, we explore how the books incite students to think about problems in relation to society.
