Education: on the way to freedom

Abstract

The article analyzes the illusion of mass education and the patterns on which it is based. It reveals the image of the «boor» as a person of the crowd outside the crowd, opposed to the educated person. Following Hegel, education is viewed as a form of human liberation. It is education that marks the growth points of freedom for public consciousness — the points of historical transition from a «before» state to an «after» state, initiating the self-awareness of growing generations. It is shown that the condition for solving the problem of educational overload is the overhaul of the education system as a whole, aiming to transform it into a navigator of this transition. The phenomenon of mutual evidence in the school of developmental education is also examined.
