Resumo: The idea of a democratic education in the English context has lost a considerable amount of ground since the 1960s. Here I argue that such is the dominance of neoliberal understandings of education over the Right and much of the social democratic Left that new thinking is required. I begin by considering the view that we have now become so post-democratic that people no longer wish to be free. It is in this context that we may talk about the alterity of democracy. I explore different ideas about how we might seek to link education to ideas of the commons, thereby connecting the idea of education to more participatory notions of citizenship. All of these ideas need to be revived in the context of a state that increasingly controls schools from the center and the dominant rationality of the market.

Argumento aquí que, ante el grande dominio ejercido por comprensiones neoliberales de educación, sobre la derecha y buena parte de la izquierda socialdemócrata, es necesario un nuevo pensamiento. Inicialmente considero la perspectiva de que hemos llegado a ser tan postdemocráticos que las personas ya no desean más ser libres. En ese contexto podemos hablar de la alteridad de la democracia. Exploro diferentes ideas sobre como podríamos buscar interconectar la educación con la idea de commons,3 asociando la idea de educación a nociones más participativas de ciudadanía. Todas estas ideas precisan ser revitalizadas en el contexto de un Estado que controla cada vez más las escuelas desde el centro y la racionalidad dominante del mercado. L’idée d’une éducation démocratique a perdu du terrain dans le contexte anglais a partir des années soixante. Mon argument est que la domination exercée par les vues néolibérales de l’éducation sur la droite tout autant que sur une bonne partie de la gauche social-démocrate est si grande qu’une nouveau entendement se fait nécessaire. Tout d’abord, j´examine l´approche que considere que nous sommes devenus tellement post-démocratiques que les personnes ne désirent plus être libres. C’est dans ce contexte qu’on peut parler de l’altérité de la démocratie. J’explore différentes idées sur la manière par laquelle nous pourrions chercher à relier l’éducation aux idées de commons,2 en associant l’idée d’éducation à des notions plus participatives de la citoyenneté. Toutes ces idées doivent être revitalisées dans le contexte de l’État qui contrôle chaque fois plus les écoles à partir du centre et de la rationalité dominante du marché. A ideia de uma educação democrática no contexto inglês perdeu terreno considerável desde a década de 1960.
