ON EDUCATION (AN APPRAISAL)
Abstract
The difference between animals and human beings is that the
former are ruled by instinct and they learn mostly through experience, they
cannot be taught but they can be tamed to perform certain acts but the latter
are born as vicegerent of God on earth or if anyone who does not accept this
religious view the one would accept that human beings are born and form
society so to live in a society human beings have to learn the ways, methods
and etiquettes along-with moral obligations and duties as well as to earn his
livelihood. This process might be conscious or unconscious, formal or
informal but it is understood fact that human beings need certain types of
training and education. That is why philosophers and thinkers have always
tried to present theories of education for the benefit of humanity. Here the
two philosophers views (Plato from ancient times and Bertrand Russell
from the present times) regarding education are being presented to provide
the reader a brief introduction, development, history, objective and theories
of education.
