An Essay Towards A Philosophy Of Education: A Liberal Education For All

By Charlotte M Mason

A stirring plea for learning that still speaks to parents, teachers, and reformers today An Essay Towards A Philosophy of Education: A Liberal Education For All returns to print as a restored cultural treasure. This concise, passionate work argues that true education must be liberal, humane, and accessible not merely vocational training. It lays out a humane educational philosophy that balances intellectual rigor with moral formation, the classics with everyday life, and individual growth with civic responsibility. Readers will find clear discussions of methods, aims, and curriculum that prefigure modern debates about holistic education, progressive education theories, and the role of the liberal arts in a democratic society. Historically significant and surprisingly modern in tone, this essay influenced later thinkers and intersects powerfully with movements like the classical education approach and Charlotte Mason education. It is essential reading for anyone exploring homeschooling methods, educational reform, or the philosophy of education and it rewards collectors of educational classics and fans of Charlotte Mason homeschooling alike. This edition from Alpha Editions restores a text long out of print and brings fresh typographic care to the original work. More than a reprint, it s a collector s item, carefully edited and preserved for today s readers and future generations. Rediscover a foundational educational philosophy and enrich your library with a timeless guide to liberal arts education and holistic education methods.
