The Philosophical Basis of Education, written by Rolland Merritt Shreves in 1918, is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of education. The book delves into the various philosophical theories that have influenced educational practices throughout history, including those of Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, and Kant. Shreves also examines the role of religion in education and the impact of social and cultural factors on educational philosophy.The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of education. The first part explores the nature of education itself, examining its purpose, methods, and goals. The second part looks at the relationship between education and society, considering the ways in which education can shape and be shaped by social and cultural factors. The final part examines the role of the teacher in education, exploring the qualities and skills that are necessary for effective teaching.Throughout the book, Shreves emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the need for educators to be reflective practitioners. He argues that education should be a process of inquiry and discovery, rather than simply the transmission of knowledge from teacher to student. Drawing on a range of philosophical perspectives, he offers a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between education and philosophy.Overall, The Philosophical Basis of Education is a seminal work in the field of educational philosophy. Its insights and arguments continue to be relevant to contemporary debates about the nature and purpose of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
