Education and the Development of Reason (International Library of the Philosophy of Education Volume 8)

The book is divided into three major parts: the first deals with the nature of education and discusses the various general aims such as 'mental health' 'socialization' and 'creativity' which have been thought to characterize it; the second section is concerned with the nature of reason and its relationship to feeling will and action; finally the development of different aspects of reason in an educational context is considered.
