Synopsis
Educational Aims and Educational Values (English Edition) by Paul H. Hanus is a thoughtful and enduring exploration of what education is for, how its purposes are formed, and why its guiding values matter. Written with clarity and intellectual discipline, this work examines the principles that shape educational goals and connects them to the broader moral, social, and cultural responsibilities that schools carry.
Rather than treating schooling as a set of routines or methods, Paul H. Hanus approaches education as a deliberate human endeavor—one that must be anchored in carefully considered aims. The book invites readers to reflect on the meaning of “educational value,” asking what kinds of knowledge, habits, and ideals deserve a central place in learning, and how such priorities influence both individual growth and the common good.
Balancing philosophical insight with practical relevance, Educational Aims and Educational Values speaks to educators, students of pedagogy, and readers interested in the foundations of educational thought. It offers a grounded perspective on how aims are chosen, how values are cultivated, and how an education worthy of the name can be evaluated not only by outcomes, but by the quality of purpose behind them.
This English edition preserves the original character of a classic work in educational theory, making it a valuable addition to personal libraries, academic collections, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the ideals that continue to shape debates about teaching, learning, and the true ends of education.
