| Abstract: | The greatest and most enduring aspect of Freire's work is his emphasis on the political nature of all educational activity. In Freire's view, there is no such thing as a 'neutral' education. Education can domesticate individuals, contributing to their acceptance of or passivity in relation to the status quo. Alternatively, education can liberate, providing the disposition to engage in a dialectical relationship with knowledge and society. This is part and parcel of a critical reading of the world. |
