Abstract

In 1998, the Journal of Curriculum Theorizing published an article I wrote: Meditations on James Macdonald’s Transcendental Developmental Ideology of Education, a slightly edited version of which is included in this issue of the journal. It offered an autobiographical contemplation on Macdonald’s 1974 publication, A Transcendental Developmental Ideology of Education. In this article, I reflect on these from a 2021 post-secular vantage point.
