ABSTRACT
The historical part sheds light on how democracy as a governing form has taken shape as a response to wars and their brutalities against those who are considered as different. The image of education as a battlefield where some wills aim to dominate others has been a historically reoccurring one in discussions about education. Ideology can be categorized as one among many different political governing forms in which nation states control education. Practically all ideological governing forms existing in the world today oppose the idea that a nation should be governed with the help of the people living within its borders and also of paying regard to the intrinsic plurality present in the notion of ‘people’. Essential in his writings is the need to not suffocate and stagnate education, but allow the organic character of education and the people in it to constantly grow and change.
