J. Glenn Gray 
The Promise of Wisdom [EPUB ebook] 

Support

The Promise of Wisdom is addressed to all educators. It raises perennial questions about the purposes of education, authority and freedom in the classroom, and the structure of the curriculum. It offers a vision of education in and out of school, of learning and teaching that seeks ultimately to help “reconcile the individual and his world.” In simple, graceful language, this volume addresses individuality and happiness, artistry in conduct, and concludes with a section on schools and the wider society. It understands knowledge as “not only being able to learn, ” but also “being able to unlearn and relearn throughout life.” Drawing from a wealth of literature as well as personal experience and insight, Gray describes what it might mean to be an educated person.
