Publisher's Synopsis
The Ruling Principle of Method Applied to Education is a book written by Antonio Rosmini Serbati, an Italian philosopher and theologian. The book is a treatise on the principles of education and the methods that should be used to impart knowledge effectively. Rosmini argues that the ruling principle of education should be the development of the individual's intellectual and moral faculties. He believes that education should aim to cultivate the whole person, not just their intellect. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Rosmini discusses the principles of education and the importance of developing the individual's faculties. He argues that education should be based on the natural tendencies of the human mind and that teachers should work to develop these tendencies. In the second part, Rosmini discusses the methods of education. He argues that the best method is one that encourages the student to think for themselves and to develop their own ideas. He also discusses the importance of moral education and the role of the teacher in promoting moral values. In the third part, Rosmini discusses the practical application of his principles and methods. He provides examples of how his ideas can be applied in different educational settings, including primary schools, secondary schools, and universities.
