Rethinking the Politics of Education provides an entirely original
rethinking of the modern and contemporary mythology of education.
Problematizing the ideas concerning education as fulfilment and
redemption, the book critically reviews the association of
education with projects of social justice, democracy and
improvement. This book argues for a fundamental rethinking of what
education is, exploring how things stand with education and
educational apparatuses in the contemporary world. It examines
relations between educational discourses and their implied
ontological stances and offers new ways of thinking that draw on
ontological positions from psychoanalytical, philosophical and
social discourses. The book contends that education is an essential
form of politics and must be understood through a careful
examination of its history modes of operation and its basic
structures, rather than an idealized version of what it might be.
Presenting an original and alternative account of a theoretically
informed political ontology of education, the book will be of great
interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students
interested in the philosophy of education, the politics of
education, educational theory and the sociology of education.
