In 'La (des)educación', Noam Chomsky, globally recognized as one of the great intellectuals and educators of the 20th century, offers a profound and revealing critique of the current educational system. This book compiles his writings on education and de-education, where the American linguist questions the idea that schools teach democratic values. Instead, he argues that there is a colonial model of teaching designed to train teachers with a devalued intellectual dimension, replaced by procedures and techniques that prevent critical and independent thinking. Chomsky provides us with essential tools to dismantle this domesticating teaching, urging educators to reject technocratic training and become authentic intellectuals who denounce hypocrisy, social injustices, and human misery. In this way, students will be able to take on the challenge of broadening the horizons of democracy and building a fairer and less discriminatory world.
Avram Noam Chomsky is an American intellectual, philosopher, linguist, political activist, and social critic. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and an institute professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Among the most cited living authors, Chomsky has written more than 150 books on topics such as linguistics, war, and politics. In addition to his work in linguistics, since the 1960s, Chomsky has been an influential voice on the American Left as a consistent critic of the foreign policy of the United States, contemporary capitalism, and corporatocracy.
