The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 71
Critical Education Theory Series, Part 7

Just as we have learned here on the New Discourses Podcast that we live in Herbert Marcuse’s world today (and that’s why it’s so messed up), we also need to understand that our children all go to Paulo Freire’s schools. Therefore, we have to spend some time getting to know Paulo Freire and his approach to education, now called Critical Pedagogy or Critical Education Theory, and we need to know it deeply. To serve that goal, the New Discourses Podcast has undertaken a long series on Critical Education Theory, filled with several miniseries. Here, it begins a miniseries exploring Paulo Freire’s book The Politics of Education: Culture, Power, and Liberation, published in 1985, in considerable depth, revealing exactly what Freirean education is about. Though the introduction to this book, by Henry Giroux, already counts for two episodes of the New Discourses Podcast in this broader series, in this episode, James Lindsay begins his deep-dive directly into Freire’s work. This book, The Politics of Education, is nothing short of revelatory, not least because it is the book that succeeded in getting Freire to be taken seriously throughout colleges of education throughout North America.

In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James tackles the first two chapters of this book, giving a broad overview of Freire’s general approach and beliefs about the act of study and two visions for education: one “ingenuous” and the other Critical. In the second of these, we see how Freire redefines “literacy” so that it becomes the site of a new Marxian Theory. Freire’s Marxist and Hegelian roots are clearly exposed in just these first two chapters, as are his generally religious disposition with regard to Marxism. Join James to understand how Freire, through this book and his other work, transformed our education system into Marxist Sunday School, five days a week, bearing in mind that nearly all of our kids go to Paulo Freire’s schools.

    Great work , James as always.

    What is so frustrating is the lack of oposition to this ideology in the educational system.

    Very revealing how they have it set up so you can find them wrong but not the dialectical methodology, so , it can keep regenerating .

    There is profound evil in this. We need to isolate it , scrutinise it , mock it , deride it , step on it and flush it down the toilet.

    People who beleive in this are naive , and inevitably turn into ass holes.

    In the 1980s and 1990s, the educational left was still IMO more intellectual. It was ruled largely by what Eric Hoffer (“The True Believer”) would call the “men of words” as opposed to “fanatics” or “men of action”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_True_Believer

    This 1993 book by Aronowitz and Giroux was remarkably self-conscious, particularly Chapter 7: The Universities and the Question of Political Correctness has a remarkable sense of Inner Party self-consciousness. It mentions the New York Intellectuals of the 1930s and the “modernist” establishment that emerged in the 1960s. It even mentions the likes of Bloom and Kristol in terms of the debates happening at that time.
