Inhaltsangabe
In the 19th century Herbert Spencer defined the central educational problem as being "what knowledge is of most worth?" and the question has remained the subject of unresolved debate ever since. In this book Dr Degenhardt makes a valuable contribution to the discussion. He provides a summary of the main grounds on which thinkers from Plato to the moderns have regarded the acquisition of knowledge as inherently beneficial, and in the final chapter he expounds his own solution to the question of its intrinsic worth and the importance to education of the right answer.
