Keywords: Education, autonomy, emancipation, Kant, Ranciere, Biesta, dependence
Pages: 90-99

Abstract

The current research on Education frequently turns to the problems of autonomy and emancipation. This paper considers the concepts of autonomy and emancipation in Immanuel Kant and Jacques Ranciere under Gert Biesta's examination. The following question is discussed: can a person be emancipated through education? We will make a brief explanation against or in favor of the new logic of emancipation discussed by Biesta, suggesting the possibility of rethinking the emancipation aiming to the dependence criticism, a typical category of current pedagogy, inspired by Kant.
