Free will and heutagogy

Abstract

In this paper we argue that there are at least two conditions for the adequate realization of the capacity of free will - and thus of the realization of the right to freedom of education - that are missing from Matusov's account, and needed to be integrated with it in order to enable the successful implementation of the right to freedom of education principle. We will then offer a different typology of the field of education, a typology that is complementary, rather than contradictory, to Matusov's typology, and use this typology - especially the concept of heutagogy - to offer a way that optimizes freedom of will in education.
