Description
First published in 1985. Bertrand Russell's observations on education ace world famous. He discusses the different stages of education emphasizing the importance of education at a very young age. The education of character begins at home with wise parents training their children to be affectionate and fearless. Among the most important themes covered is education in knowledge in which a balance must be sought between interest and accuracy, and between utility and disinterestedness. Russell argues that if the basis of all education is knowledge wielded by love then society can be transformed.
