Know about the book -

Post-Enlightenment Self-Education is written by Eugene Matusov and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3031906756 (ISBN 10) and 9783031906756 (ISBN 13).

The book aims to challenge and redefine the traditional Enlightenment approach to education by advocating for a Post-Enlightenment model that emphasizes self-education rooted in individual autonomy, dignity, and diverse experiences. It critiques the Enlightenment's narrow focus on rationality and hierarchy, proposing a more inclusive and personalized method that values emotional intelligence and contextual understanding. The book seeks to promote a radical shift towards educational pluralism, where learning is driven by the learner's own needs, interests, and judgments, rather than imposed by external authorities. Ultimately, it calls for a reimagined educational paradigm that aligns with the principles of universal human dignity and autonomy, envisioning a future where education is a personal and existential pursuit supported by democratic societal structures.
