It argues that the transmission of an individual's experience through education is as vital to the continuity of society as biological reproduction is to the continuity of life. Beginning with the premise that the inculcation of values and dispositions required for a society to thrive cannot be automated, the author posits that teaching and learning are essential for the survival of any group or society. It traces the development of formal education out of informal modes of learning as societies grew increasingly complex. The book discusses the problematic distinction between formal and informal modes of education and the danger for the student of a split between their practical experience of life and their theoretical academic experience. The book concludes by establishing the role of the social environment, and especially the school, as indispensable to the formation and maintenance of individual dispositions that are conducive to the healthy functioning of society. It suggests that the coordination of diverse social environments, the idealization of social customs, and the creation of a shared and balanced environment are central to the school's function within education.
