Philosophy, Children, and the Schools

Abstract

Introduction:  The school is in danger because there is not a general and a fundamental goal for the work which the school must do in educating the generations of the future - in educating children of today.  Perhaps it is not new that the work of the school can be criticized - but it might be new that the basic goals of the school must be renewed in order that they can serve the legitimate claims of the future.  We know that the future will give a world different from the one we know today, not only technologically but also philosophically.
