Book Overview

Desiderius Erasmus Concerning The Aim And Method Of Education is a book written by William Harrison Woodward and published in 1904. The book is a translation of a work by Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutch Renaissance humanist and theologian. In this work, Erasmus discusses his views on education and the role it plays in society. He argues that education should focus on developing critical thinking skills and cultivating a love of learning, rather than simply imparting knowledge. He also emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded education that includes not only academic subjects, but also physical exercise and moral education.
