This book considers Foucault as educator in three main ways. First,
through some consideration of what his work says about education as a
social and political practice. That is, education as a form of what
Allen (2014) calls benign violence – which operates through mundane,
quotidian disciplinary technologies and expert knowledges which
together construct a ‘pedagogical machine’. Second, through an
exploration of his ‘method’ as a form of critique. That is, as a
way of showing that things are ‘not as necessary as all that’, a
way of addressing what is intolerable. This suggests that critique is
education of a kind. Third, through a discussion of some of Foucault's
later work on subjectivity and in particular on ‘the care of the
self’ or what we might call ‘a pedagogy of the self’. Each
chapter introduces and discusses some relevant examples from
educational settings to illustrate and enact Foucault’s analytics.
