Something can taste 'interesting', which does not mean delicious, look 'interesting', which does not mean attractive, or sound 'interesting', which does not mean tuneful. Žižek (2012) connects 'interesting' with crisis, where our 'interesting' irrational, fast, and often contradictory solutions are, as Norman notes, potentially destroying the planet. Is the role of curriculum to envisage the Anthropocene as the end? How can educators grapple with truth and crisis and reclaim genuinely interesting and creative solutions to global problems, as Norman suggests, with hope and possibility in a world of inequity and degradation? We teach and lead education and pedagogy in interesting times. Most recently, interesting times in education might be considered as contradictory, such as opening up physical classroom walls alongside the boundarying and boxing of online learning or providing the necessary focus on wellbeing following COVID isolation, but narrowing being well to

It is indeed a pertinent debate-is pedagogy a science? Your article starts by claiming it is, and providing some examples from pedagogical models, throughout history, and concludes that it is something more than a science. You understand educational institutions as labs of formation, social development, and influence, including environmental influence. Your argument would benefit from considering the variables in the 'true lab' in a deeper level-and the lens you choose to decide what these variables are, whether empirical, hermeneutic, philosophical, or other, is important. What I enjoyed was your understanding of the history of pedagogy over time. Next you could track the history of the scientific movement, or consider what it means in different contexts in time and place. I like that you addressed process and acknowledged the unending nature of process.

The argument proceeds in four parts. First, it outlines the dialectic of the individual and the collective articulated in Marx’s third thesis on Feuerbach. Second, using the theory of practice architectures, it describes the three-dimensional intersubjective space in which this dialectic is realised: the space in which people encounter one another as interlocutors, as embodied beings, and as social and political beings. Third, it shows that the dialectic of the individual-collective, as it unfolds through time, is more than an abstract matter, which Hegel pursued in the form of a history of ideas; against Hegel, the Young Hegelians, including Feuerbachand Marx, argued that the dialectic of the individual-collective is a concrete and practical matter, realised in human history and practice.
