Education Between Two Worlds

Written in the midst of World War II, this book makes a strong argument for the crucial importance of education as the solution to the dilemmas with which our Anglo-Saxon culture was nurtured, with particular emphasis on the work of John Dewey and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Stringfellow Barr, writing for the New Republic, said that this is A wise and courageous book. I do not know how anybody concerned with education can ignore it.”
