Deschooling Society PDF book at: https://monoskop.org/images/1/17/Illi... “School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is.” -Ivan Illich in Deschooling Society book. In Deschooling Society (1971), Ivan Illich's best-known and most influential book, Illich articulated his highly radical ideas about schooling and education. Drawing on his historical and philosophical training as well as his years of experience as an educator, Illich presented schools as places where consumerism and obedience to authority were paramount and genuine learning was replaced by a process of advancement through institutional hierarchies accompanied by the accumulation of largely meaningless credentials. In place of compulsory mass schooling, Illich suggested, it would be preferable to adopt a model of learning in which knowledge and skills were transmitted through networks of informal and voluntary relationships. Ivan Illich’s views on the medical establishment, laid out in his book 'Medical Nemesis': The Expropriation of Health (1975), were equally radical. He disputed the notion that modern medicine had led to an overall reduction in human suffering and asserted that humanity was, in fact, afflicted with an ever-increasing number of ailments caused by medical interventions. Furthermore, he argued that modern medicine, by seeming to offer cures for nearly all conditions—including many that had not been considered pathological by earlier generations—raised a false hope that all suffering could be avoided. The effect, he concluded, was to undermine humans’ individual and communal resources for coping with life’s inevitable hardships, thereby turning them into passive consumers of medical services.
