Thinking and Learning to Think, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Discover how thinking elevates life in this classic study of education and character.

In this work, the school is shown as a place that helps students grow beyond tasks and routine. It argues that education should cultivate the higher life by teaching students to think God's thoughts and the best thoughts of great minds, as they are found in creation and the humanities. The book links thinking to happiness, virtue, and meaningful living, not just to grades or money.

Readers will encounter an accessible discussion of memory, learning, and how cultivating thoughtful minds builds both personal well‑being and a richer society. The author emphasizes balance—between memory and understanding, between intellectual growth and ethical action—so education becomes a path to complete living.

• Explore memory types and how they affect reading, reasoning, and learning.


• Learn why literature, science, and beauty are tied to the higher life and lasting values.

Ideal for readers of educational philosophy, history of schooling, and those interested in how thinking shapes a well‑lived life.
