Emancipated Education Essays on the Nurturing of Critical Discourse
Emancipated Education: Essays on the Nurturing of Critical Discourse by Azhar Ibrahim argues that education should function as a liberating project that cultivates critical thinking, social awareness, and moral courage. Through a series of reflective essays, Azhar critiques educational practices that have become technocratic, bureaucratic, and overly focused on rote learning at the expense of intellectual reflection. He advocates for a humanistic model of education that nurtures ethical subjectivity, social imagination, and sensitivity toward injustice. The book highlights the role of educators, intellectuals, and academic institutions in fostering democratic and emancipatory spaces for discourse. Ultimately, Azhar calls for a renewed understanding of knowledge—not merely as information to be mastered, but as a transformative force that empowers individuals and communities.
