A Critical Study of Current Theories of Moral Education (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from A Critical Study of Current Theories of Moral Education

This study was evolved in connection with the writer's work in the departments of philosophy, psychology, and sociology. It is not a report of work done in a laboratory, though laboratories are not unknown to the writer. It is herein implied, if not explicitly stated, that the greatest problem in the educational situation, today, is one which cannot adequately be handled in the mere laboratory. In fact, it cannot be found inside a laboratory. It is the larger problem of the intimate logic of experience, in which concrete educational values are created and assimilated, and the wider problem of the uncertain play of those social forces which alone can give adequate stimulation to the individual's educational activities. Out of these vital situations there may arise, here and there, important prob lems of detail which can be handled successfully only in a laboratory. But laboratory and, life must alike contribute to the development of a convincing logic of experience which will serve as a more adequate guide in pedagogical practice.
