Publisher's Synopsis
""The Philosophy of Education: Being the Foundations of Education in the Related Natural and Mental Sciences"" by Herman Harrell Horne is a comprehensive exploration of the principles and theories that underpin the field of education. The book delves into the philosophical and scientific foundations of education, examining the ways in which natural and mental sciences contribute to our understanding of how individuals learn and develop. Horne's work covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of knowledge, the role of the teacher, the importance of critical thinking, and the relationship between education and society. He draws on the insights of philosophers such as John Dewey and Immanuel Kant, as well as the findings of psychologists and educators like Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Throughout the book, Horne emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to education, one that recognizes the interdependence of different disciplines and the complex ways in which individuals learn and grow. He argues that education should be geared towards the development of the whole person, rather than simply imparting knowledge and skills. Overall, ""The Philosophy of Education"" is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the foundations of education, and will be of interest to educators, students, and anyone interested in the nature of learning and human development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
