Abstract

The article deals with the historical and philosophical foundations of libertarian pedagogy as a project of non-hierarchical organization of educational, cognitive and learning processes. It focuses on pedagogical concepts that have had a decisive influence on the modern face of libertarian pedagogy, but are poorly represented in the mainstream pedagogical discourse and are not known in Russia at all. Since women are an absolute majority among the authors who have been displaced from the official pedagogical discourse, the article aims to identify their forgotten figures and to redefine the significance of their contribution both to a particular pedagogical tradition and to pedagogy as a whole. In the light of this fact we make an attempt of primary reception in Russian-speaking academic space of philosophical-pedagogical ideas of Enlighteners of 18th- 19th centuries that influenced modern libertarian-pedagogical discourse. This revision attempts to identify, compare, and evaluate from a modern perspective the main trends of their quests. The study is based both on the texts of key primary sources and a number of monographs and articles on the philosophy and history of education.
