Abstract

Educational institutions are proper instruments of socialization only when socialization is understood as civilization, i.e., the process of realizing trans-cultural ideals. If education is seen as civilization, the weaknesses of educational conservativism and educational radicalism are easily recognized. The concept of civilization can thus serve as the philosophical underpinning for a moderate approach to the problem of socialization.
