Opis

More than a book about Illich, this is a conversation with Illich's work as we enter the third decade of the 21st century, just under twenty years after his passing, and almost fifty years since his Deschooling Society was first published.

Recenzje

"In this scholarly reading of Ivan Illich, John Baldacchino conducts an astonishing feat; namely, to find ignored and minimized connections in Illich's contribution to education. Educing Ivan Illich creates a new educational 'language,' with original viewpoints and perspectives, which expands our repertoire of thinking and our competence of acting-that we so desperately need when faced with educational situations. This volume should be read by anyone who has an interest not only in education but also in that which is good for humanity."-Herner Saeverot, Professor of Education, Western Norway University
