Description
Education, Autonomy and Critical Thinking explores the complex relationships between autonomy, critical thinking, and education. Christopher Winch examines how these concepts intersect with mortality, politics, and the pursuit of rationality.
The book assesses the significance of critical rationality in achieving a worthwhile life involving autonomy, while also investigating what critical thinking is and how it can be cultivated. Drawing on discussions of epistemology and the philosophy of language, Winch offers a powerful critique of central concepts in contemporary philosophy of education.
