Great Minds on Learning


Oct 30, 2023

Marxism and education.

This episode examines the impact on learning of a thinker, Karl Marx, who had a revolutionary effect on the world in general. In the name of Marx and his collaborator Engels, politicians of the 20th Century created regimes that were utopian in some cases, highly repressive and even murderous in others. Meanwhile, the heirs to Marx’s intellectual tradition fleshed out Marxism as a rich and powerful explanatory system. And though controversial to this day, Marxist thought has had an enduring effect on learning and education.
