3. The business of educating
man is definitely rooted in
the general aims of
education.
4.
5. The function of the educative
process is to shape a particular
individual belonging to a given
nation, a given social structure, a
given historical age.
12. Education
is vital
knowledge and skills that we
learned
what we remember after we forgot
everything that we learned
involves transfer of values from one
generation to the next
13. Education
is about what we think, what we
believe, how we should live, what
we value, what we believe is right
and wrong
life long search for truth
defines what kind of person we are
and what we will become
17. Education is an art. Every art and

action and purist, is thought to aim
at some good; and for this reason
the good has rightly been declared

It is incorrect to view human
thought as merely a response
to the stimuli in environment,
that is to say, to define it in
terms no more than animal
learning and reaction.
27. The Fallacy of Pragmatism
Human thought is
knowledge, and thinking
begins, not only with
difficulties, but also with
insights, and ends up with
what is true.

30. Pragmatism is a philosophical
movement that includes those who
claim that an ideology or
proposition is true if it works
satisfactorily, that the meaning of a
proposition is to be found in the
practical consequences of
accepting it, and that impractical
ideas are to be rejected. It kills the
idea of dreams and ensures control
to manic levels while ensuring
realism and enabling accurate
planning and subsequent
