Title: THE FALSE RIGHT TO AUTONOMY IN EDUCATION.
Authors: Swaine, Lucas
Source: Educational Theory. Feb2012, Vol. 62 Issue 1, p107-124. 18p.
Subjects: Learner autonomy, Rights, Autonomy (Philosophy), Philosophy of education, Imagination in children, Citizenship education, Character
Abstract: The ideal of personal autonomy enjoys considerable support in educational theory, but close analysis reveals serious problems with its core analytical and psychological components. The core conception of autonomy authorizes individuals to employ their imaginations in troubling and unhealthy ways that clash with sound ideals of moral character. Lucas Swaine argues in this essay that this gives grounds to deny that the core conception of autonomy should be promoted in democratic education. What is more, according to Swaine, young citizens appear to have no right to be educated, in public schools, for the purpose of becoming autonomous individuals of the kind he describes and criticizes in this account.
