{"product_id":"ivan-illich-fifty-years-later","title":"Ivan Illich Fifty Years Later","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1971, priest, theologian, and philosopher Ivan Illich wrote \u003ci\u003eDeschooling Society\u003c\/i\u003e, a plea to liberate education from schooling and to separate schooling from the state. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of its publication, \u003ci\u003eIvan Illich Fifty Years Later \u003c\/i\u003elooks at the theological roots of Illich’s thought and the intellectual and ideological strands that contributed to his ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGuided by the central question of how Illich reached the point of writing \u003ci\u003eDeschooling Society\u003c\/i\u003e, the book sheds light on how Illich produced a critique of schooling that can be defined by its eclecticism. Bruno-Jofré and Igelmo Zaldívar explore how this controversial book was framed by Illich’s early neo-scholastic and anti-modern foundation, his discovery of St. Thomas through Jacques Maritain, and the existential turning points that influenced his public life and intellectual direction in moving from a critique of the Church as institution to a critique of schooling. Drawing from the interpretative theories of Quentin Skinner, Reinhart Koselleck, and William H. Sewell and from concepts such as educationalization, transnationality, and configuration, among other heuristic tools, the authors provide an original and cross-disciplinary analysis of \u003ci\u003eDeschooling Society\u003c\/i\u003e and its place in Illich’s journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57312899301758,"sku":"NW9781487545062","price":37.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781487545062.jpg?v=1778590129","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/ivan-illich-fifty-years-later","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
