Présentation de l'éditeur
The primitive idea and form of education is that of a preparation for the ordinary and necessary occasions of human life. The world was given to man as a vast store-house of materials, capable of being wrought out and adapted to his uses. As originally given in their rude condition, they met only his most necessary wants. But he had within himself the principle of a higher utility, leading to conceptions of convenience, comfort, elegance. The development of his nature in this direction gave birth to agriculture, the mechanical arts, manufactures, and commerce the forms of human industry. This idea is the basis of what is strictly popular education. In its rudest state it presents merely, and in different degrees, mental invention, contrivance and adaptation, and physical skill where instinct and spontaneous thought work together, and where the wonderful instrumentality of nature is perfected by use and ripened into habit.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating evolution of education, tracing its development from its primitive beginnings as a means of practical preparation for life to the emergence of universities as centers of intellectual inquiry. The author, a keen observer of historical trends, examines the various stages of education, highlighting the influence of prominent figures like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and exploring the impact of key periods such as the rise of Scholasticism and the Renaissance. The book argues that while universities initially served a primarily religious purpose, their role expanded over time to encompass a wider range of disciplines, including the sciences, the arts, and the humanities. The author provides a detailed account of the historical processes that led to the establishment of universities, tracing their roots back to the ancient Greek schools of philosophy and exploring the critical role of individual scholars in founding these institutions. The author also contrasts the differing approaches to education in various countries, drawing comparisons between the systems prevalent in England, Germany, and Scotland.
