Education And The Larger Life

By Charles Hanford Henderson

Book Overview

Education and the Larger Life is a book written by Charles Hanford Henderson, an American philosopher and educator, first published in 1913. The book explores the relationship between education and the broader aspects of life, including social, economic, and political factors. Henderson argues that education should not be limited to the classroom, but should be a lifelong pursuit that is integrated into all aspects of one's life. He believes that education should be focused on developing the whole person, including their intellectual, emotional, and moral capacities. The book is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the nature of education and its role in society. The second section explores the relationship between education and the larger life, including the importance of social and economic factors. The final section examines the practical implications of Henderson's philosophy of education, including the need for educational reform and the importance of lifelong learning.Overall, Education and the Larger Life is a thought-provoking book that challenges traditional views of education and encourages readers to think critically about the role of education in society. It is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the philosophy of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
