The Subversive Nature of Liberal Education
Philosophy in the Contemporary World 17 (2):25-29 (2010)
| Abstract | In this paper, I distinguish liberal education and social education. The latter emphasizes obedience, conformity, efficiency and loss of critical examination of societal norms. Liberal education is defended not as supplanting social education but as a very important and often neglected aspect of education. Liberal education is and should be subversive in respect to the goals encouraged by social education | |||||||||
