    Educating for autonomy: is it just a pipe dream?

    This thesis explores the paradox of educating for autonomy. I state the underlying problem which is in an apparent incompatibility between education–a process of inculcation that shapes children’s values, beliefs, desires, etc., while bypassing their rationality–and the desired end of guiding children to become autonomous persons. I provide an outline of the possible solutions proposed by Richard Peters, Robert Noggle, and Stefaan Cuypers, and point out their deficiencies. Ultimately, I suggest a forward-looking solution, which considers the authenticity of children’s attitudes (values, beliefs etc.,) in relation to the child’s right to an open future.
