The Risk of Education: Discovering Our Ultimate Destiny"The fundamental idea in the education of the young is the fact that it is through the younger generations that society successively rebuilds itself; therefore, the primary concern of society is to teach the young. What does education consist of, and how does it take place? This book explores what is at our origins as human beings. It presents the argument that without the fundamental factors of tradition -- something lived out in the present that proposes and gives its reasons and criticism, asking yourself why? -- the young person is merely a fragile leaf separated from its branch. |
