Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
The Aims of Education is a collection of Whitehead's speeches and essays on education, which reflects his educational concepts in a relatively comprehensive manner. Whitehead advocates that education should be full of vitality and vigor, and opposes instilling knowledge in students, but should guide them to develop themselves; he emphasizes the importance of classical literature and art in the intellectual development and personality cultivation of students, attaches importance to the significance of aesthetics in moral education, and believes that "if the educated cannot often witness greatness and sublimity, there is no moral education to speak of." These creative and profound educational concepts have great reference value for the "quality education" advocated today.
