Dennis Lee describes the goals of Rochdale, an attempt at the free and flexible pursuit of truth outside of the university setting. Here the people who make decisions are those whom the decisions affect and no activity whatsoever is prescribed or proscribed as educational for the person carrying it on (p. 81). What is aimed at is a truly liberal education where one is "liberated" from unreflecting reliance on the assumptions and structures soaked up from family, school, church, and society (p. 84). What seems lacking in his proposal is any sense of the objective basis of truth and value; nor is there much respect for the reflection that went to make up the very things one is to be liberated from. The danger is that we will revert to new unilateral relationships in which teacher and student have merely reversed roles. Howard Adelman, the book’s co-editor, has no solution to offer.
