The Social Question in Liberal Education

Authors

Dale Porter, Western Michigan University

Abstract

In her book On Revolution (1965) Hannah Arendt makes a distinction between liberation and freedom which I want to relate to the function of liberal education in contemporary American society. The dilemma implied by that relation was developed by my students in a recent class discussion; it is on their behalf that I present it here.
