Education and Free Will critically assesses and makes use of
Spinoza's insights on human freedom to construe an account of
education that is compatible with causal determinism without
sacrificing the educational goal of increasing students' autonomy
and self-determination. Offering a thorough investigation into the
philosophical position of causal determinism, Dahlbeck discusses
Spinoza's view of self-determination and presents his own
suggestions for an education for autonomy from a causal determinist
point of view. The book begins by outlining the free will problem
in education, before expanding on a philosophical understanding of
autonomy and how it is seen as an educational ideal. It considers
Spinoza's determinism and discusses his denial of moral
responsibility. Later chapters consider the relationship between
causal determinism and autonomy, the educational implications of
understanding free will and how free will can be utilised as a
valuable fiction in education. This book will be of great interest
to academics and postgraduate students in the field of education,
especially those with an interest in moral education and philosophy
of education. It will also be of interest to those in the fields of
philosophy and psychology and specifically those focusing on the
free will problem, on Spinoza studies, and on the relation between
moral psychology and external influence.
