Firstly, the article examines the theoretical underpinnings of social science education, particularly in relation to liberal, Marxist and critical theory. Secondly, the paper analysis how modernity has conditioned the way we understand teaching and social science didactics. Thirdly, the article considers radical democracy as an alternative and examines some of the possibilities that this theory offer. This article is a tribute to Joan Pagès that aims to reconsider some of his ideas in our times of change.
