| Abstract: | Michael Hand argues in his article 'Against autonomy as an educational aim' that the project of erecting autonomy as an educational aim is wrongheaded. I argue that his argument fails. I discuss two lines of his argument that deal with different senses of autonomy. The first line of argument trades on an ambiguity. As soon as we disambiguate, we can see that this argument is not cogent. The second misconstrues the point of the concept of autonomy Hand discusses in this line of argument. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
