The Origin And Ideals Of The Modern School (1913)

""The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School"" is a book written by Francisco Ferrer in 1913. It is a philosophical treatise on education and the role it plays in shaping society. Ferrer, a Spanish educator and anarchist, argues that traditional education is oppressive and fails to prepare students for a democratic society. He proposes a new model of education that is based on freedom, cooperation, and social justice. Ferrer's ideas were revolutionary for his time, and he was considered a threat to the established order. He was eventually executed for his beliefs. This book is a seminal work in the history of educational theory and an important document of anarchist thought. It remains relevant today as a critique of traditional education and a call for a more democratic and egalitarian society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
