The Foundations of Ivan Illich's Social Thought.

Reagan, Timothy

Educational Theory, v30 n4 p293-306 Fall 1980

Ivan Illich's critique of schooling as a social institution detailed flaws and suggested an alternative model focusing on the functions of modern schooling. The teacher in the modern school is viewed as an impediment to education. Illich's conception of the deschooled society is described, and the ideal role of the church in human society is posited.
