In this book Joel Spring traces the long tradition of libertarian
opposition to established forms of schooling from Rousseau and
William Godwin to A.S. Neill and Paulo Freire. He illuminates the
central questions that have concerned radical educators:
-- How can teaching encourage independence and self-reliance?
-- Can rigid ideas and ideologies be avoided by radical
educators?
-- What is the contradiction between "schooling" and
"education"?
-- How does truly libertarian child rearing challenge the family
structure?
-- How can real learning free people so they can begin to change
the world around them?
Spring also discusses the ideas of several figures whose
relevance to education is just beginning to be appreciated,
including Max Stirner, Franciso Ferrer, Wilhelm Reich, and Tolstoy.
Spring concludes with suggestions for what directions radical
educational change might now take.
