A Philosophy of SchoolingThe Politics of Schooling

A Philosophy of Schooling: The Politics of Schooling [This chapter is a philosophical exploration of the politics of schooling that goes beyond the fear-driven politics of Hobbes and is instead informed by personalism and optimistic anarchism. Anarchism sees relatively small-scale communities as the dominating features of politics. It is not that larger-scale political entities—such as nation-states—are necessarily bad: instead, they are somewhat redundant, unnecessary, or superfluous. A principle of radical subsidiarity—taking decisions at the most local possible level—is an anarchist approach. There is more power than might be expected in the hands of small-scale local communities. This power can dominate our political, lived-together, personally significant lives.

Abstract

[This chapter is a philosophical exploration of the politics of schooling that goes beyond the fear-driven politics of Hobbes and is instead informed by personalism and optimistic anarchism. Anarchism sees relatively small-scale communities as the dominating features of politics. It is not that larger-scale political entities—such as nation-states—are necessarily bad: instead, they are somewhat redundant, unnecessary, or superfluous. A principle of radical subsidiarity—taking decisions at the most local possible level—is an anarchist approach. There is more power than might be expected in the hands of small-scale local communities. This power can dominate our political, lived-together, personally significant lives. Schools can make a difference as those in schools wield significant power.]
