Abstract | The book is comprised of four major sections. The first section is concerned with 'communitarian responses' to the crisis of the Welfare state. It discusses in broad terms the relations between social policy and the move to community, democracy and community-based social policy, and the relations between welfare and community with regard to the New Zealand 'experiment'.... The second section, entitled 'Neo-liberal Individualism' , examines in some detail aspects of neo-liberal philosophy, focusing on the notion of social justice, the embodiment of neo-liberal thinking in education policy, the politics of choice and the autonomous chooser, and the relation between neo-liberal individualism and narcissism.... The third section ... is concerned with the practical question of how to pursue policy analysis, critique and development in a way that is consonant with a commitment to community and democracy. The section begins with a chapter which represented our first efforts at theorizing the relation between policy evaluation, education and community, developing our notion of the 'ideal learning community'.... The fourth section deals almost exclusively with the attempt to transcend the individualism/community couplet.... We examine the rise of the 'new social movements' and the implicit criticism common to these groups against the universalist claim to reason made on behalf of liberalism and contemporary neo-liberalism. We also present the poststructuralist critque of subject-centered reason and argue the case on the basis of this critique against liberalism and liberal education.(DIPF/Text übernommen). |
