Anarchism and Education: A Philosophical Perspective

Although there have been a few historical accounts of the anarchist school movement there has been no systematic work on the philosophical underpinnings of anarchist educational ideas - until now. "Anarchism and Education" offers a philosophical account of the neglected tradition of anarchist thought on education. Although few anarchist thinkers wrote systematically on education, this analysis is based largely on a reconstruction of the educational thought of anarchist thinkers gleaned from their various ethical, philosophical, and popular writings. Primarily drawing on the work of the nineteenth-century anarchist theorists such as Bakunin, Kropotkin, and Proudhon, the book also covers twentieth-century anarchist thinkers such as Noam Chomsky, Paul Goodman, Daniel Guerin, and Colin Ward. This original work will interest philosophers of education and educationalist thinkers, as well as those with a general interest in anarchism.
