Education and the Demand for Emancipation

2014

This paper puts forward the hypothesis that in recent decades, pupils of schools in the western world have been given a new form of individuality.

Following its natural metamorphic way of being and searching for its identity, the Self is revealed to be a transindividual form of life, constituting in the relationship with other transindividual forms of life and their counter-intentionality.
