Letters And Lectures On Education (1898)

""Letters and Lectures on Education"" is a collection of writings by Johann Friedrich Herbart, a German philosopher and educator who lived in the 19th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part consists of letters that Herbart wrote to his friend and colleague, Karl von Raumer, discussing various educational topics such as the role of the teacher, the importance of moral education, and the use of textbooks in the classroom. The second part contains lectures that Herbart delivered to his students on the subject of education, covering topics such as the nature of education, the formation of character, and the relationship between education and society. Throughout the book, Herbart emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to education that takes into account the intellectual, moral, and physical development of the student. He also advocates for a curriculum that is grounded in the study of the humanities and the natural sciences, and that encourages students to think critically and independently. Overall, ""Letters and Lectures on Education"" offers a valuable insight into the educational philosophy of one of the most influential thinkers in the field of education.Containing A Preface By Oscar Browning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
