The Reform of Education

The author presents a philosophical program for educational reform grounded in idealist principles, arguing that schooling should actively shape individual personality by cultivating spiritual culture, moral character, and intellectual unity. He contrasts realism and naturalistic approaches with an emphasis on education as a deliberate, formative act that expresses and sustains communal identity and shared will, discusses the tension between individual impulse and social obligations, and treats physical training, character formation, and curricular unity as interdependent. The volume outlines an integrated ideal of education aimed at harmonizing personal development with broader cultural purposes.
