In the work, he explains political injustices
using three authorities :
COERCION
CONVICTION
CONFIDENCE
Noted as first anarchist

5. WHAT IS ANARCHY?
 Anarchism is generally defined as the political philosophy
which holds the state to be immoral, or alternatively as
opposing authority in the conduct of human relations.
Anarchists advocate stateless societies based on non-
hierarchical voluntary associations

6. AUTHORIT Y ONE - COERCION
 Coercion = bad
 Lacking of free
will
 No internal
motivation
 Punishment –
Reward system
„where i do that which is not prescribed to me by my private
judgement, merely on account of the mischievous consequences that
I forsee will be annexed to my omission, by the arbitrary
interference of some voluntary being.‟ (119)

7. AUTHORIT Y TWO - CONFIDENCE
 Confidence = good
or bad, dependent
on act
 Allows us to be
taught, learn how to
do something, not
follow
 Needs self-interest
 Mentor and Mentee
„that it should be fitter and more beneficial, all things
considered, that the function to be performed should be
performed by another person, than that it should be performed
by me.‟ (119)

8. AUTHORIT Y THREE - CONVICTION
 Conviction = good
 Internal motivation
 Own opinion
 Conviction + Confidence
= Reason
„where we are directed, not by the precarious and mutable
interference of another, but by a recollection of the
intrinsic and indefeasible tendency of the action to be
performed.‟ (119)

9. PAULO FREIRE
Notable work Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Published in Portuguese in 1960’s
Attacks :
banking concept,
Supports :
Problem posing
Intentionality
Looks at education

10. BANKING CONCEPT
 Deposit and withdrawal
 No thinking
 Essentially memorization
“his task is to "fill" the
students with the
contents of his narration
-- contents which are
detached from
reality, disconnected
from the totality that
engendered them and
could give them
significance. Words are
emptied of their
concreteness and become
a hollow, alienated, and
alienating verbosity.” (1)

11. PROBLEM POSING
 Common opinion
 Learning for life
 Encouraged learning
 Stops a person from being
held back
 Essentially thinking
“those truly committed to liberation must reject the banking
concept in its entirety, adopting instead a concept of women and men
as conscious beings, and consciousness as consciousness intent upon
the world. They must abandon the educational goal of deposit-
making and replace it with the posing of the problems of human
beings in their relations with the world.” (6)

12. INTENTIONALIT Y
 ‘Thinking is always thinking of something’
 Thinking means your free from banking concept
 Closely related to problem posing, both are freedom
“it epitomizes the special characteristic of consciousness: being
conscious of, not only as intent on objects but as turned in upon itself
in a Jasperian split" --consciousness as consciousness of
consciousness.” (6)
