The autonomous chooser and ‘Reforms’ in education
Studies in Philosophy and Education 15 (1):89-96 (1996)
Abstract
In recent educational reforms in New Zealand, a central assumption has been the existence of a free and autonomous chooser acting as a consumer of education. The present paper examines and critiques this notion of autonomy, as developed within liberal theory. Both Foucault and Lyotard provide materials for this critique of such a self, a self independent of the laws and principles of a community.My notes
