During the past two decades many philosophers have attempted to define indoctrination. A brief review is offered of the central debate in which they have engaged over the importance of such features as method, content, and intention. It is then demonstrated that attempts to make the intention to indoctrinate a necessary feature of indoctrination are not successful. It is pointed out that the whole debate over method, content, and intention is misconceived, as it fails to focus attention on the experience of the learner. A revised definition is offered which takes into account this important factor.
