Excerpt from Thoughts and Theories of Life and Education We cannot comprehend what awakens the purest and profoundest emotions. They who feel God's presence inquire not into the nature Of His being, as a child reposing on a mother's breast asks not how or why she is fair. It is not always necessary, says Goethe, that truth take definite shape; it may be enough that it hover about us like a Spirit and produce har mony. God is before all, within all, above all, - eternal, immanent, transcendent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.

This book provides an analysis of the major educational theories of European culture. It covers the spectrum of educational thought from the traditional positions of Plato and Aristotle, through the opposed progressive positions of Rousseau and Dewey, to recent and contemporary variations and reactions to these viewpoints in the work of the Russian communist educator Makarenko, the behaviourist and social theorist B F Skinner, the apostle of freedom in education A S Neill, the British analytic philosopher R S Peters, and finally the prophet of the deschooled society, Ivan Illich. In this second edition a new section covers developments in educational theory up to the present day, along with a comprehensive bibliography. The book provides an introduction to the theory and philosophy of education for beginning students in the subject. The readings are of sufficient length to give representative coverage of the ideas of the individual theorists and are each introduced by a commentary which provides philosophical and historical context. Central issues in education that recur throughout the book include the nature and aims of education, choice of curriculum content, the teacher pupil relationship, freedom and authority, moral development, and the role of the state in education.

Arguing for life, moral and values education as a bedrock for the original goals of school education, this monograph explores how life and values education is conceptualised and imparted in Greater China. Under a globalized, transnational, and technological world, where there has been an increase in people’s mobility, in information and cultural exchanges, there is also a growing emphasis on personal and professional ethics. Against this context, life, moral and values education has gained attention for its impact on shaping students' characters as future citizens. However, the cultivation of these values is made deeply diversified and complex by varying interpretations of "life education" and "values education" across societies, given that different societies are influenced by different socio-cultural traditions, educational ideologies and religious beliefs. The means and approaches towards life education also vary vastly from formal school subjects, school-based programmes as well as teachers and peers’ role modelling, community services, extra-curricular activities, school discipline, charity work, pastoral care, and school ethos. Recognising this inherent diversity and complexity in the approach to and the dissemination of life education, the contributors to this volume survey the practice of life education in Greater China so far, suggesting that life education is most effective when it is "diversified, dynamic and developmental across contexts". This book will provide the opportunity for engaging in important and serious debates about the future and the values that will underpin it and will prove of special interest to scholars and practitioners working on education policies curriculum development and teacher education in Greater China.

From the Preface. Education as a conscious effort towards human evolution involves the most difficult problems of life. The school, like other institutions, has arisen out of practical needs, at first narrowly conceived, and the idea of its aim and methods has been of gradual development. The meaning of a thing is its relations (p. 44) and naturally the narrow abstract relations involved in immediate ends and rule of thumb methods have been made prominent in educational theory, and often have been perpetuated by tradition long after their usefulness has been outgrown in the progressive discovery of remoter needs involving wider relations. The true meaning of education and consequently its aims and methods will be understood only when its fullest and completest relations to the life process have been discovered. It is the purpose of this essay to discover in the light of epistemology some of these wider relations and in them to find some formal principle or norm that may be of value in selecting from a confusion of educational aims and methods those which are more in harmony with the evolutionary progress. The discussion in the first eight chapters presupposes on the part of the reader some familiarity with the theories of knowledge concerned. While an attempt has been made to develop the essay as an organic whole, some, who may not be especially interested in the critical discussion in the first eight chapters, may wish to begin with the constructive theory given in chapter nine, while others may wish to read only the educational implications discussed in the tenth chapter. The last chapter contains a brief summary of the whole. Acknowledgements should be made both for inspiration and guidance to the writer's teachers, including Professors MacVannel, Dewey, Thorndike and McMurry in Columbia University; Professors Hanus, Munsterberg and Royce in Harvard University; and Professor Gordy in Ohio State University. Especial acknowledgement is due Professor MacVannel, under whose supervision this dissertation was written, the beneficent influence of whose personality and teaching cannot be forgotten. Owing to the nature of the problem, much that is here given must be faulty. Life as a self-differentiating unity ever presents more and more complex relations, so that thought, which must take them into account, can only progressively approximate the truth. Indeed, most of one's activities must be guided by theory, or opinion, which consists of hypotheses in process of becoming facts, and ever subject to modification. It is hoped that what is here given will be suggestive to the reader, and the correction of error, where he can discover it, is left to him. The solution of the educational problem will have to be done over many times, each time more closely approximating the truth and becoming a more definite guide in the most difficult of all activities, the progressive realization of human nature.

This volume connects aspects of personal health, overall well-being, and education to quality of life. It includes discussions of Galen’s and Harvey’s views of the movement of blood in human bodies, and differences in the research traditions of social indicators research and health-related quality of life research. It examines determinants of health and quality of life in a variety of populations, including the residents of the Bella Coola Valley of British Columbia, aboriginal residential school survivors in Canada, and diabetics versus non-diabetics. It describes relations between health survey and patients’ medical chart reviews, the health and quality of life of older people, and the difference between good health and a good life. Other topics explored are student quality of life, comparisons of the quality of life of students, aboriginal and unemployed people, the impact of education on happiness and well-being, and liberal education. In addition, the volume presents Einstein’s views of ethics and science, and unacknowledged authorship in scholarly publications. The final chapter gives a historical review of quality of life research in Canada over the past fifty years.
