Nakagawa, Yoshifumi; Payne, Phillip G. – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2019

Elkind, David – Behavioral Disorders, 1998
This rejoinder to critiques of "Behavior Disorders: A Postmodern Perspective" stresses that postmodernism is not a rejection of empiricism or of positivism but does place theory and research in a historical context.
