Unlearning : Or how NOT to be governed? Paperback / softback
by Nader N. Chokr
Part of the Societas series
Paperback / softback
Description
The aim of this book is to show why we should hold 'unlearning' to be a crucial 'capability' in and for education at this point in our history.
The author argues that it enables to pose and take seriously the problem of 'governmentality': How are we governed - individually and collectively?
Do we wish to be governed in this or that way, to this or that extent, so much, so little, or so badly, under these or those conditions? Or do we wish instead to be self-governed and thereby practice our freedom and be more autonomous, relatively speaking?
As such, it puts in question in a radical way the twin pillars of the so-called 'contemporary consensus' - 'representative (liberal or social) democracy' and 'capitalism' - and makes it possible to take a critical measure of their limits, insufficiencies, and irremediable deficits.
