      ab: This article begins with John Dewey's initially puzzling suggestion that training students in what he calls the "occupations"—the practical labor skills of their society—is essential to their personal freedom. This suggestion may seem strange to modern ears, which tend not to associate occupational training with personal liberation. In the course of this article, however, we argue that the ideas motivating Dewey's comments about occupations are an important feature of what we now call "educating for autonomy." The contemporary debate about autonomy is divided about whether autonomy has normative content. We argue that Dewey's "occupationalism," provides a significant alternative to procedural conceptions of educating for autonomy. Building on these resources, we articulate and defend our own substantive conception of educating for autonomy.
