1 | Education and the Good Life (Unabridged) | Bertrand Russell |
Education and the Good Life By Bertrand Russell Early 20th-century philosopher, mathematician, historian, and social critic Bertrand Russell once again offers a refreshing and insightful look at the way in which we raise and educate our children and the effect it has on the kind of adults they become. Once again Russell demonstrates how timeless and unresolved some issues remain—be they war, religion, politics, or ... in this instance ... education. Russell sets out his views on the four important characteristics of an ideal character: vitality, courage, sensitiveness, and intelligence, and then proceeds to take the audience on the ideal educational journey of a child, from infancy to adulthood. Although published in 1926, the insights in this work continue to apply today—perhaps more than ever. 00 - Introduction Part I. Education and the Good Life 01- Chapter 1.
