By William Whewell

Book Overview

Of A Liberal Education In General, Parts 1-2 is a book written by William Whewell in 1850. The book explores the concept of liberal education and its importance in shaping individuals and society as a whole. Whewell argues that a liberal education should not only focus on the acquisition of knowledge but also on the development of critical thinking skills, moral values, and a sense of civic responsibility. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the nature and purpose of liberal education, while the second part delves into the specific subjects and disciplines that should be included in a liberal education curriculum. Whewell's ideas on liberal education were influential in shaping educational policies in the 19th century, and his work remains relevant today as a guide for educators and policymakers seeking to promote a well-rounded education that prepares individuals for success in all aspects of life.Part One, Principles And Recent History.
