Devoid of Community: Examining Conceptions of Autonomy in Education.
Kerr, Donald
Educational Theory, v52 n1 p13-25 Win 2002
Examines the conception of autonomy promoted by four educational philosophers to justify education prescriptions, focusing on the extent to which they succumb to the charge that they describe persons free of any social connections and encumbrances. The paper suggests that to the extent that these conceptions are vulnerable to this charge, they are mistaken. (SM)
