Abstract
THE title of this book would have been better chosen as the “Idealistic Philosophical Basis of Education.” The author has no particular use for either the naturalistic or pragmatic philosophies, and concentrates all his attention on idealism. He gives quite a good account of naturalism and pragmatism in education, with his bias towards idealism showing through, and then presents the case from the idealistic point of view. The book is well written and the subject matter well arranged. The author's account of the historical development of idealism from the days of Socrates, through Rousseau, Kant, and Fichte, to the modern idealism, is good.
