In this searching and relentlessly logical critique, a distinguished professor of philosophy argues that the purpose of education -- enabling students to achieve intellectual autonomy -- has been largely forgotten. Hugh Mercer Curtler challenges prevailing myths about education and indoctrination, explains the significance of a proper understanding of education in a democracy, and offers recommendations to reverse current trends.
