Summary/Abstract: Professor P Klohr, the author of this analysis, was an outstanding representative of Philosophy and Theory of Education in America. Descending from the progressive movement, and a disciple f Boy Bode, P. Klohr has had the chance to know the American school, and its problems, better than many of his colleagues. In this article, as the author says, Pinar and his associates give the message that when educators begin to work to solve some of the issues of progress/difference, universality/ particularity, regularity/ irregularity, there will begin to be genuine curriculum reform. And This volume serves as bridge between the dominant modern theory base and the exciting postmodern world of theory and practice.
