L'anarchismo è un multiverso, molteplici sono gli stili e gli orientamenti che contribuiscono a costituirne l'ordito. Ostile ad ogni impulso verso la medietà, refrattario ad ogni assicurazione scolare, l'anarchismo sembra render vano ogni tentativo teso a collocarlo entro i confini, seppur mobili e sfumati, di una teoria generale. Erede dei valori dell'umanismo radicale dell'Illuminismo, della storia delle idee dell'educazione progressista di John Dewey e Bertrand Russell, Chomsky scommette sulla possibilità che si dia una pedagogia capace di valorizzare la creatività e la libertà di ciascuno, di porsi oltre una politologia pastorale che si traduce in ortopedagogia soprattutto attraverso la scuola. Il saggio si propone, muovendo da un rapido excursus sull'anarchismo americano e sulla chiarificatrice teorizzazione di Paul Goodman – che risulta quella pedagogicamente più organica nel panorama degli Stati Uniti – di gettare un cono di luce sull’educazione libertaria di Noam Chomsky.

Abstract
Anarchism is a multiverse, so many are the styles and tendencies contributing to its weave. Hostile to any impulse toward middleness, refractory to any school assurance, anarchism seems to frustrate all attempts to place it within the boundaries, although unstable and blurred, of a general theory. Chomsky, inheritor of the values of the Illuminism radical humanism, as well as of the history of the progressive education ideas of John Dewey and Bertrand Russell, bets on the possibility that we will have a pedagogy capable of enhancing everyone’s creativity and liberty, of placing itself beyond a pastoral politology which turns into orthopedagogy especially through school. Moving from an historical excursus on American anarchism and on the clarifying theorisation of Paul Goodman – which appears to be the most pedagogically innervated in the U.S. landscape – this essay aims to shed light on the libertarian education of Noam Chomsky.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
