This article is based on adoctoral research in which Ivan Illich’s work onmodernized poverty was analyzed systematically by an immanent reconstruction concentrating on his most essential books published in the 1970s. This article, however,focuses on his book Deschooling Society(1971), and represents systematic analysis ofits school-related criticism. Furthermore, theresearchers’ interpretation on the interconnectedness of Illich’s core concepts is introduced as the ultimate result. Illich’spurpose is to show that the society is extortedinto a form of school and that we all aredependent on institutionalized services fromprofessionals, in the same way that studentsare dependent on teachers complying with acurriculum. Along with his criticism, Illich hasproposed an alternative model of schoolsystem: learning Webs that enable learning onthe learner’s own terms without a predetermined plan. From the perspective of the science of education, the essentialelements of Illich’s work include a demand forthe liberation of education, preservation ofautonomy, and increasing reliance on selflearning.
