The Aims of Education Restated (International Library of the Philosophy of Education Volume 22)

Focusing on the aims of education, John White's study offers a comprehensive analysis that builds on historical perspectives, notably Whitehead's work from 1929. It examines the educational landscape by considering not just formal institutions but also the societal ethos that influences learning. By evaluating various contemporary views on educational aims, White synthesizes the most credible ideas into a cohesive set of recommendations, providing a significant contribution to the discourse on educational objectives.
