The Schooling Of Life (1864)

By Richard St. John Tyrwhitt

Book Overview

The Schooling of Life is a book written by Richard St. John Tyrwhitt in 1864. It is a philosophical work that explores the nature of education and its role in shaping individuals and society. The author argues that education should not be limited to formal schooling but should encompass all aspects of life, including experiences, relationships, and personal growth. He believes that true education is not just about acquiring knowledge and skills, but also about developing character and cultivating a sense of purpose and meaning in life. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores different aspects of the author's philosophy of education. Part one focuses on the importance of self-knowledge and the cultivation of virtue, while part two discusses the role of education in society and the need for a more holistic approach to learning. Part three examines the relationship between education and religion, and part four explores the connection between education and the arts. The Schooling of Life is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about education and its purpose. It remains a relevant and insightful read for anyone interested in the nature of education and its impact on individuals and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
