Abstract

In this article the outlines of the anarchist perspective on the discipline in education have been identi-fied. In the beginning the relevance of the anarchism to contemporary educational debates has been justified. Then two opposite views at the discipline in education (by Durkheim and by Foucault) have been examined. Based on the Foucault’s critique it has been proposed how two meanings of the word ‘discipline’ referred to education connected. In conclusion it has been shown how rethinking education as a discipline from the anarchist perspective can inform educational research.

Key words: discipline, anarchism, philosophy of education, Durkheim, Foucault
