Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates how maximizing the potential of an individual's mental capabilities is the true aim of any worthwhile educational method, and rejects the idea that it is to simply pass on knowledge. The author goes on to discuss what they perceive as the mistaken tendency to focus on specific subjects within a curriculum at the expense of the general development of a student's faculties, an approach the author believes to have left many students lacking in moral character. They also consider which subjects would be best for developing which elements of a young mind. The author draws on the philosophies of Aristotle, Locke, and Plato, amongst others, in order to build a case against society's treatment of education as solely a gateway to a lucrative career, whilst neglecting to nurture the development of the individual as a whole person. They argue that real education should nurture a lifelong love of learning, and that current educational practices often fail to achieve this.
