The PC is foundational in all our thinking.
Indeed, Duhem's entire scientific program was driven by the conviction that a generalized thermodynamics should be foundational for physical theory, thinking that all of chemistry and physics, including mechanics, electricity and magnetism, should be derivable from thermodynamic first principles.
To Reva Siegel, a Yale law professor who specializes in gender and constitutional law, this article "could disrupt foundational or settled ways of thinking about what counts as a discrimination claim".
Our paper reports on two studies investigating practicing and prospective elementary teachers' uses of a learning trajectory to make sense of students' thinking about a foundational idea of rational number reasoning.
The current studies address the impact of prior biological background and instruction in phylogenetics on students' competence at two foundational tree-thinking skills.
First, given the difficulties that biology majors have understanding the ladder format even following introductory instruction in phylogenetics, it seems best to teach foundational tree-thinking skills using the tree format at both the college and high school levels.
Yet, even the stronger-background students in Study 2, who received two days of in-depth instruction in phylogenetics in a semester-long Evolution course, in general failed to demonstrate a high level of competence at a foundational tree-thinking skill the ability to assess relative evolutionary relatedness among taxa using the concept of most recent common ancestry by the end of the course.
As a physicist, he championed "energetics," holding generalized thermodynamics as foundational for physical theory, that is, thinking that all of chemistry and physics, including mechanics, electricity, and magnetism, should be derivable from thermodynamic first principles.
Despite the shared post-foundational theorizing among performative feminists, when it comes to thinking about democratic politics, there are sharp divergences, namely on the question of "what it means to actualize public spaces and enact democratic politics" (Dietz 2003, 419).
Idolatry of the written word occurred anywhere in the world where ancient oral stories (which surely evolved for millennia as conditions and needs changed) became frozen into unchanging scripture -- scripture that was then deemed as the foundational (even the sole) locus for discerning priorities, values, right thinking and right behavior.
