Sommario/riassunto

Autonomy and Schooling provides a philosophically rigorous defence of a moderate version of child-centred education. Since Rousseau, child-centred education has been advocated on the grounds that the ideals of freedom and individual autonomy require it, though the relation between educational policy and these ideals has often been obscure.
