Note 24 — Chapter VI · EDUCATION

Even John Locke, who, as a thinker was, in many respects, surprisingly superficial, exclaims with regard to education: “You will wonder, perhaps, that I put learning last, especially if I tell you I think it the least part.” (Some Thoughts concerning Education). While Aristotle lays it down definitely: “That there is a sort of education in which parents should train their sons, not as being useful or necessary, but because it is liberal or noble.” (Politics VIII., 5).
