Foundations of Education 1 Edition (English, Paperback, Bhattacharya Srinibas)

From the dawn of civilization, man has been marching in search of wisdom. Various experiments are projected through education, so that humanity, happiness and harmony be wedded together. Education is indispensable for making life and living meaningful and purposive. Its significance cannot be fully appreciated unless it is looked at in proper perspectives—philosophical, sociological and psychological. The philosophical perspectives provide the basis of education in terms of values, aims and objectives. Without a philosophical basis, education tends to lose its direction. In addition, philosophy provides a framework within which education and educational problems can be discussed.
