A very good translation of a short work

This is a very readable translation of a philosopher whose works are sometimes tedious and difficult to read for the layman. Of course, Kant -- one of the luminaries of the Age of Enlightenment -- has had a tremendous influence on Western thought and it is important to be able to grasp some of his ideas, if only dimly. Kant's work "On Education" is quite short, but it is important because it outlines not only his thoughts about how education of youth should be pursued, and what is to be avoided, but it gives the reader an idea of how important Kant viewed the emotional and moral growth of children. His chapter on moral culture is interesting. It concerns development in children that is at once understandable to the modern world yet -- for better or worse -- now rather removed from Western culture too. For readers who have enjoyed the works of Plato and others from antiquity on the subject of education this work will introduce them to the very beginning of the Modern World's approaches to education from a philosopher still educated and grounded in the ideas of the ancients.
