ABSTRACT
How does education differ from indoctrination, training and programming and must indoctrination etc. be totally, or only partially, excluded? What is presupposed in the learner, e.g. what degree of rationality? Is a teacher needed, or can one educate oneself, deliberately or accidentally? Can one be educated to be rational, in any sense, and what is involved in acquiring one’s first language (cf. PRIVATE LANGUAGE)?
