The Liberating Power of Education

A powerful and historically informative essay on how our views of education and its worth have come to be – and why education is central to the idea of freedom.

Part of the Academy of Ideas’ Letters on Liberty series of pamphlets, which explore what freedom means to us today.

“A masterful historical understanding of why liberal education is the way out of so many problems… people are always saying maybe we can add something to the curriculum, use education as a vehicle for propagandising this, that or the other… and Harley stands firm on the importance of education in its own right.”

Claire Fox, Director, Academy of Ideas
