«La (des)educación» is Noam Chomsky's critical essay, published by Crítica in paperback (235 pages, in Spanish).
Chomsky brings together his writings on education to argue that today's school does not transmit democratic values but a colonial model that trains rather than emancipates. The system would limit intellectual autonomy and prevent reasoning about the hidden interests behind the explanations given in classrooms.
Published in 2001; belongs to the Letras de Crítica collection. The original English title is «On MisEducation».
For readers interested in education, philosophy and social criticism, and for those who follow Noam Chomsky's work.
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.
