| Summary: | "If we endeavour to bring to a focus the aim and amount of development which man has acquired, by the unfolding method of education and instruction as hitherto described, we distinctly see that the boy is come to the knowledge of his independent spiritual self, he feels and knows himself to be a spiritual whole. The capacity has been formed in him to perceive a whole, in its unity and variety. There has begun to grow in him ability to represent a whole in its necessary parts, to express himself--his essence--in its unity and in the manifoldness of its being, by means of variety external to it. Thus, we recognise the human being, at the beginning of boyhood, as capable of what is highest and most important, the fulfilment, namely, of his destiny, or function, which is to realise the divine nature within him. The subsequent life of man from boyhood onwards is dedicated to making this capacity grow into sure skill, into consciousness, into insight and clearness, into a life of his own making. The author notes that the present volume is a re-issue of a collection of representative passages from Froebel's chief work, Menschen-Erziehung, made and translated by the late William Henry Herford, and published in 1893. The text is substantially reprinted from the first edition, but the translation has been carefully revised"--Create. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved). |
