Overview
This book addresses an area that is theoretically undeveloped in educational studies--the constitution of the human subject.

Educational progressivism overestimates the power of rationality and represses any understanding of unconscious mental processes. What is needed is the development of a psychodynamic 'social psychology of classes.' According to the author, we need to investigate the differential relations between institutional and self-formative processes.
