A guide to organizing knowledge and reforming study for practical life and governance
Discover a thoughtful plan for shaping study to serve real-world life, work, and leadership. This work argues that how we organize knowledge matters as much as what we know, with a focus on usefulness, discipline, and the cultivation of the mind.
The book outlines a practical framework for classifying knowledge and choosing the right kinds of study to support public life and governance. It emphasizes the connection between education, character, and action, and urges readers to ground learning in everyday usefulness rather than mere cleverness. A key concern is how to nurture will and habit, so readers can apply learning to improve life and institutions.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
