A PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

Herbert Johnston A Philosophy of Education A good many years ago Mortimer J. Adler warned us that : To know the truth in the philosophy of education ... depends upon almost the whole of philosophy. There is no short-cut worth taking. If anyone has not the time, patience, or willingness, to study philosophy in its entirety, let him resign himself to being ignorant of philosophical truths about education... We do not think the situation is quite that extreme. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that we consider it possible, as a prerequisite for reaching ‘‘philosophical truths about education,’’ to telescope the preliminary considerations into an examination of the nature of man and of those powers that make him educable. This we regard as a barely sufficient minimum; but we think it is enough to do the job, and this book is an effort to do it.
