The fied of composition theory has emerged as part of the inteectua turmoi and set of pedagogica debates which have beset higher education for the ast four decades and is now revoutionizing the theory and praxis of higher education. This voume examines three of the dominant pedagogica theories within composition theory: expressivist, cognitivist, and socia-constructivist and buids its critique on the fact that much of modern composition theory has focused on epistemoogica concerns whie negecting the ontoogica foundations of that which is being discussed. Critica Reaism and Composition Theory offers an aternative approach to teaching composition. This probem-oriented aternative is designed to ead students beyond the abstract, contempative description of a probem to an expanded understanding that shows that concerns for justice cannot be addressed inteectuay without at the same time confronting the practica constraints that imiting powers of socia institutions pay in both defining a probem and its socia soution. 1.
