Education and the New Utilitarianism and Other Educational Addresses is a book written by Alexander Darroch, a Scottish educator and philosopher. The book is a collection of essays and speeches on education, originally delivered by Darroch in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this book, Darroch explores the role of education in society and the importance of educating individuals to become responsible citizens. He argues that education should not be solely focused on vocational training, but should also include moral and intellectual development. One of the main themes of the book is the idea of utilitarianism in education. Darroch critiques the utilitarian approach, which values education only for its practical benefits, and argues that education should also be valued for its intrinsic worth. He believes that education should aim to cultivate the whole person, not just prepare them for a specific job or career.The book also includes Darroch’s thoughts on the importance of education for women, the role of religion in education, and the need for education to be accessible to all, regardless of social class or economic status.Overall, Education and the New Utilitarianism and Other Educational Addresses is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the purpose and value of education. It is a must-read for educators, philosophers, and anyone interested in the role of education in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
