Synopsis

Education for Democracy argues that the school and democracy must grow together to shape society.


This book frames democracy as a practical, living social project where education plays a central role. It traces how public schooling, local control, and civic culture interact to develop citizens who can think clearly, act with moral purpose, and participate in public life. The text also discusses the responsibilities of religion, government, and schools in fostering a culture of democratic life and warns against attempts to consolidate power or manipulate public opinion.


Readers will gain a clear view of how education can support a healthy democracy, from early schooling to broad social aims. It presents ideas about the purposes of schooling, the dangers of autocratic influence, and the importance of forming a common public good.



  • How education and democracy reinforce each other in practice

  • The role of public schools and local control in developing responsible citizens

  • Arguments against political manipulation and for freedom of thought

Ideal for readers interested in civic education, policy discussions, and the future of democratic life.
