Abstract
The article refers to the issue of autonomy as an overriding educational aim and is analyzing the concept of Autonomy-Oriented Education (AOE) by the Israeli philosopher of education, Aharon Aviram. Although the desire for freedom and the need for self-determination is an immanent part of human identity, the project of erecting individual autonomy as a central educational aim is a matter of controversy. According to Aviram the autonomy should be the main educational goal, and postmodern school should encourage young people to develop their personal autonomy, morality and dialogical belonging – three basic humanistic values. To accomplish that, Aviram proposes a total change of the prevailing education system. This paper presents an overview of the assumptions of that conception.
