Education after Foucault: The Question of Civility.
Mourad, Roger
Teachers College Record, v103 n5 p739-59 Oct 2001
Examines the relationship of education to conceptions of individual well being within the context of political theory, exploring how beliefs about human nature, rationality, and behavior were developed during the formative period of individual rights and how those beliefs are embedded in educational practices. Foucault's ideas are used to provide a contemporary critical context and contrasted with Marx's treatment of individuals. (SM)
