Abstrakt

Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society is a seminal work that challenges the very foundations of institutionalized learning. This review delves into Illich's central arguments, his vision for a deschooled society, and its relevance to contemporary educational discourse. By comparing Illich's work with other critical thinkers such as Paulo Freire, Jacques Ellul, Herbert Marcuse, Michel Foucault, and Neil Postman, this review highlights the enduring significance of Deschooling Society and its potential to inspire future educational reforms.
