Synopsis
Excerpt from Idealism in Education, or First Principles in the Making of Men and Women
Dr. W. T. Harris died November 5, 1909. Toward the conclusion of his Psychologic Foundations of Education (p. He wrote: According to the current evolutionary view, all nature is a struggle for survival Of forms. Of the organic forms, the plant serves the animal and yields to him. The animal in turn yields to man. -man, in fact, conquers all nature. Here the law of the survival of the fittest comes to mean the survival of individuals that have most intelligence. All nature, it would seem, is a process for originating individuality and developing it into rational being. Looked at theologically, this is satisfactory. Nature is the creation of souls. It implies, of course, the supremacy of mind, since all its lower processes exist for the production of spirit ual beings - they depend on mind, so to speak, and demonstrate the substantiality of mind. Mind is the final cause and purpose of nature. This again im plies that mind creates nature to reflect it. God creates nature, and through nature creates Spiritual beings who participate in his blessedness. Hence nature presupposes a God Of grace and good will toward his creatures.
In the spirit of these quotations from two great but very different educators, this book is written. It would combine the practical aim of Spencer to assist in the evolution of humanity with the ideal istic philosophy of Harris. The aim of Spencer is new, it being characteristic only of the biological nineteenth century, and after, to assign man's Golden Age to the future; the philosophy of Harris is in line with the traditions Of Hegel and Plato.
