This book investigates recurring themes and methods in educational philosophy. The author traces a pattern of development from rote repetition and memorization, through a stage of habit and tradition, concluding with a focus on specialization. Drawing examples from pre-history to the present day, the author illustrates the evolution of pedagogy from the suppression of the individual in oriental education, via the triumph of Greek rationalism, to the rise of the modern university, and explores how methods of instruction have responded to each shift in perspective. This book is a fascinating journey through the history of the ways we've learned, from the ancient world to the digital age.
