What is education for? Should it produce workers or educate future citizens? Is there a place for faith schools - and should patriotism be taught? In this compelling and controversial book, Harry Brighouse takes on all these urgent questions and more. He argues that children share four fundamental interests: the ability to make their own judgements about what values to adopt; acquiring the skills that will enable them to become economically self-sufficient as adults; being exposed to a range of activities and experiences that will enable them to flourish in their personal lives; and developing a sense of justice. He criticises sharply those who place the interests of the economy before those of children, and assesses the arguments for and against the controversial issues of faith schools and the teaching of patriotism. Clearly argued but provocative, On Education draws on recent examples from Britain and North America as well as famous thinkers on education such as Aristotle and John Locke. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the present state of education and its future. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Brighouse is clearly an intellectual writing to other intellectuals. The writing is unfriendly to the lay reader.
The author is also very left-wing, as he puts it, and non-religious, and though he tries to be impartial, that's a difficult task, so his biases show.
He made several comments that I thought were insightful and balanced; I appreciated that he made a distinction between education and schooling. He also acknowledged that none of us has as much control over our lives (especially our financial and career situations) as we like to think; and several times lamented that kids today are immersed in a culture that is incredibly materialistic.
However, I strongly disagreed with his assertion that parents don't have a right to educate their children in the way they deem best. (That absolutely is the right of parents while their children are minors.)
The author acted as if parents were able to force adult children into always doing as the parent wished, and his arguments seemed based on an assumption that individuals are incapable of reason and logic unless a formal school (preferably public) teaches them these things; the view just doesn't give enough credit to humans, generally.
