"Authority and the Teacher" seeks to overturn the notion that
authority is a restrictive force within education, serving only to
stifle creativity and drown out the voice of the student. William
H. Kitchen argues that any education must have, as one of its
cornerstones, a component which encourages the fullest development
of knowledge, which serves as the great educational emancipator. In
this version of knowledge-driven education, the teacher's authority
should be absolute, so as to ensure that the teacher has the scope
to liberate their pupils. The pupil, in the avoidance of ignorance,
can thus embrace what is rightfully theirs; the inheritance of
intellectual riches passed down through time. By invoking the work
of three major philosophers - Polanyi, Oakeshott and Wittgenstein -
as well as contributions from other key thinkers on authority, this
book underpins previous claims for the need for authority in
education with the philosophical clout necessary to ensure these
arguments permeate modern mainstream educational thinking.
