Beograd : Institut za filozofiju i društvenu teoriju
Abstract
Education may lead to emancipation, but it may also be precisely
what one should emancipate oneself from. Even though we are the
inheritors of the emancipatory potential of the Enlightenment, never
before have these been under such rigorous critical scrutiny as from
various intellectual traditions of the second half of the 20th century,
such as postcolonial and decolonial studies, post-structuralist thought,
feminist critique, posthumanism, etc. But precisely because the classic
educational emancipatory ideal appears both outdated and still current,
there is a great need for rethinking the idea of emancipation, along
with the role and the aim of education
