Politische Bekenntnisse und kritische Wissenschaft

Abstract Political Commitments and Critical Science. On the Relationship between Critique of Racism and Critique of Science Theoretical development and critique in educational studies are based on communicative presuppositions of rational argumentation and self-critical reflection, which are questioned by recent theoretical approaches with regard to moral partisanship and political positioning. On the basis of a case study of an empirical research project, the different possible outcomes of a racism-critical and a scientifically distanced interpretation are discussed.
