Benign Violence: Education in and Beyond the Age of Reason

The book explores the paradox of education, arguing that while it is often perceived as a benevolent force for improvement, it also harbors an inherent violence that is overlooked. It challenges the assumption that education is an unequivocal social good, suggesting that even its most vocal critics fail to fully address its underlying implications. Through this lens, the text invites readers to reconsider the true nature and impact of educational practices on society.
