Enlightenment Education for Progressive Human Interest: Personal Philosophical Investigations of the World and Its Social Acts

By Oksana Razoumova and Neil Hooley

Enlightenment Education for Progressive Human Interest draws upon key features of the European Enlightenment and Renaissance to support progressive institutionalised education in many countries around the world today. While these key features of intellectual awakening, of human reason, scientific experimentation, open-mindedness and civil liberties remain frustratingly incomplete for current generations of ordinary people, they also provide a framework for critiquing and changing conservative and dominant economic systems that restrict independent thought about the world and prospects for peaceful social advancement. They suggest an alternative to dogma, prejudice and injustice such that meaning, freedom and satisfaction may be possible through individual and community discussion and action.
