Education and the Significance of Life

This classic Krishnamurti work demonstrates that education which does not result in deep integration of thought, feeling, and outlook is useless. It points out that many contemporary methods of teaching emphasize slavish conformity to mass values and overstress technique; these must be changed. Education and the Significance of Life offers an alternative approach that stresses self-knowledge and a surrounding of freedom and love for the child, to help create an atmosphere in which real education can take place. Education and the Significance of Life is a penetrating inquiry into the nature and requirements of the kind of education which can lead to self-fulfillment and to world peace.
