Abstract

To me, one of the most interesting of all educational studies is the study of educational aims. As put forward by various individuals and groups, they reveal a variety of intriguing things, not only the way people think about education but the way they think about life in its most important manifestations. The study of educational philosophies is equally revealing - for our educational values, of course, are in many instances clear extensions of the more general values which we strongly hold.
As a practical exercise, however, the promulgation of both educational
aims and educational philosophies turns out to be somewhat less fruitful than we could wish.
