Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Democracy in Education: A Social Interpretation of the History of Education Educational experiment and reconstruction no longer need an excuse; all that they need is illumination. This will come from a number of sources, one of which must be history. It is said that "history proves nothing," which may be true; it is certainly true that history leaves many things to disprove. And history does reveal many phases of the educational problem which must be made the subject of critical investigation. History digs up the problems and shows their roots grown deep in old soils. But history has been too freely presented as mere transpiring of events; or, if any lessons are to be learned from history, those are usually along the line of the "vanity of human wishes." None the less, either from history or from the clear sky, we have become possessed of certain ideals, ideals which run counter to some of the assumptions of the past, and of certain traditional survivals of the past that still remain with us. The modern, Western world professes to have taken democracy as its political goal; certain of the peoples of this Western world profess to have taken it also as their social goal; and all of them, or nearly all, feel the profound urge of that same ideal as an economic and industrial goal. Nowhere, however, has democracy been taken as the educational goal. It has been, indeed, professed in America; but it has never been professed seriously enough to cause us to transform our traditional and therefore autocratically-inspired educational instrumentalities into actual democratic institutions.
