Striking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>It's worth posing problems clearly and unambiguously if we are to make progress in our thinking. The one posed on Saturday by Olivier Massin, Director of the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Neuch\u00e2tel, on the occasion of the Journ\u00e9e lib\u00e9rale romande*, is the following: liberalism and education seem incompatible. Indeed, if we assume that liberalism is opposed to paternalism (defined as the attitude of restricting the freedom of others), and if we assume that all education implies a certain paternalism, a liberal cannot consistently accept the very idea of education. As a good philosopher, we know that there are no thirty-six thousand ways of avoiding a conclusion,\u00ab pointed out Olivier Massin in Lausanne. Either you reject the first premise, or the second.\u00bb The professor's entire lecture then consisted in asking which premise it was possible to reject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speaker's first attempt was to challenge the second premise: no, education does not imply paternalism. Or, put more humbly, it is possible to educate without paternalism, i.e., without constraint on those being educated, those who educate or those who pay those who educate. This vision, which can be traced back to Rousseau, presupposes the idea of libertarian education, where the child is <em>roughly speaking<\/em> left to his own devices. And yet, it seems foolish to conceive of any kind of education in which there would be no constraints: is simply observing a child running around and eating the flowers he wants still education? No. The libertarian answer therefore seems to conceal a soft paternalism, which forces us to return to the premise that educating implies a certain paternalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-distinguer-enfants-et-adultes\">Distinguishing between children and adults<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Une solution plus raisonnable serait de revoir la premi\u00e8re pr\u00e9misse (il ne faut pas \u00eatre paternaliste). Olivier Massin a propos\u00e9 de la reformuler comme suit: il ne faut pas \u00eatre paternaliste <em>to non-consenting adults<\/em>. The conclusion is that non-consenting adults should not be educated. This approach has the advantage of allowing for the education of both children and adults who, by signing a contract, accept certain constraints - typically by enrolling in university. We are justified in supporting this new premise by considering - as Aristotle already did - that the child has a vague moral and legal status. He's somewhere between a stone and a person,\u00ab said the speaker, with a touch of provocation. In any case, he doesn't have the responsibility of an adult, who has rights that the child doesn't have. And he has a right that the adult does not have, a kind of <em>right to be educated<\/em>.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also | <a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/history\/left-and-right-according-to-olivier-meuwly\/\">Olivier Meuwly on positive rights (\u00abrights to\u00bb) taking precedence over negative rights (\u00abrights to\u00bb)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who is responsible for educating children? The state? First of all, it's the parents. Their responsibility to educate stems from their choice to have children. But <em>quid<\/em> children whose parents can't educate them - because they're dead, absent, physically or mentally restricted? One possible answer is that there are tragic situations, and that the existence of tragic situations does not oblige us in any way. The other answer is that it seems acceptable to force all individuals to pay for the cost of this education, and then to let this education be provided by people who are paid in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vers-un-liberalisme-empiriste-conservateur\">Towards an empiricist, conservative liberalism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Le lib\u00e9ral est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment m\u00e9fiant \u00e0 ce sujet, a rappel\u00e9 Olivier Massin: il est conscient de toutes les d\u00e9rives potentielles quand on laisse cet argent dans les mains de quelques-uns. C&#8217;est ici que le lib\u00e9ral doit choisir son camp \u2013 et c&#8217;est ici que l&#8217;expos\u00e9 de l&#8217;universitaire a le plus s\u00e9duit l&#8217;assistance. Le professeur a en effet object\u00e9 que lorsque le syst\u00e8me d&#8217;\u00e9ducation publique fonctionne bien, il ne para\u00eet pas raisonnable de le changer. Il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;un argument typiquement conservateur, parce qu&#8217;il ne se base plus seulement sur le principe, mais s&#8217;appuie sur la valeur de solutions existantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hume had pointed out the need to reconcile the two theories attributed to Locke, of whom he was a pupil: liberalism and empiricism. The liberal empiricist does not simply deduce principles from natural rights, in a purely formal way, but takes into account what exists, the state of the world. His ideas may be universally valid, but they're not the only ones. <em>pro tanto<\/em> (\u00abtoutes choses \u00e9tant \u00e9gales par ailleurs\u00bb). En cela, les lib\u00e9raux empiristes (Smith, Tocqueville, Hayek\u2026) dont Olivier Massin montre l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat se distinguent des lib\u00e9raux rationalistes (Locke, Bastiat, Rothbard&#8230;) et se rapprochent des conservateurs (Hume, Burke, Scruton&#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-lire-aussi-jonas-follonier-comment-ne-pas-etre-conservateur-liberal-socialiste\"><strong>Read also | <a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/policy\/comment-ne-pas-etre-conservateur-liberal-socialiste%ef%bf%bc\/\">Jonas Follonier: How can you not be a conservative-liberal-socialist?<\/a><\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Reste \u00e0 pr\u00e9ciser avec Mill que l\u2019on peut contraindre l\u2019\u00e9ducation, mais pas son contenu. Les exemples d\u2019absurdit\u00e9 \u00e9tatique sont actuellement l\u00e9gion. On pourrait n\u00e9anmoins se mettre au moins d\u2019accord sur certaines prestations indispensables, quelle que soit l\u2019\u00e9cole. D\u2019apr\u00e8s le professeur, il n\u2019est pas absurde de se dire qu\u2019une \u00e9ducation subventionn\u00e9e devrait n\u00e9cessairement comprendre l\u2019apprentissage de l\u2019\u00e9criture, de la lecture et des calculs, ainsi que la transmission de savoirs locaux, \u00e0 commencer par la langue du pays. Elle devrait en outre respecter et v\u00e9hiculer certaines valeurs, telles que la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression, l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 des droits et le pluralisme. Voil\u00e0 un beau programme lib\u00e9ral-conservateur, qui s\u2019appliquerait \u00e9galement au m\u00e9dias! Merci, Olivier Massin.
