Opis

This book focuses on two key issues first, the centrality of education (knowledge creation and pedagogy) to all projects of radical democracy; and second, the educative character of radical democracy as a mode of political and ethical life. In this text Amsler explores why radical democracy is so difficult yet so possible, and why understanding it as a critical educational process greatly increases our chances to make it work.
