The question at the heart of the book is what might an education with self-care and care-for-others look like? Juxtaposing self-understanding through the method of currere and the historical character of hakbeolism (a concept indigenous to Korea referring to a kind of social status people achieve based on a shared academic background), this book articulates how subjective reconstruction of self in conjunction with historical study can be transformative, and how this can be extended to social change. Articulating how having oneâs own standard can be a way of making oneâs life a work of art, the author looks at how Korean schooling exercises coercive care, disconfirmation, and the "whip of love" for the childrenâs own good. Emphasis is given to the internalized status of these practices in both students and teachers and to teachersâ and parentsâ culpability not only in exercising but also in reproducing these practices through themselves.
Going beyond describing and analysing the educational problem of academic (intellectual) achievement-oriented education based on aggressive competition, this book suggests ways to address these issues through autobiography (using the method of currere to reconstruct oneâs subjectivity) and an ethic of care.
