If, on the contrary, the state exists for its individuals, the very best protection that it can give to them is to help them realize their own native powers, to teach them to use their own strength and to rely on their own resources.

Excerpt from Principles of Educational Practice
Education From a national Standpoint. - In our political and social development there have been two conceptions to explain and justify the existence of the state. These are extremes in aim and spirit and have given rise not only to limitless discussion and conjecture among philosophers and students of political and social sciences, but even to bloodshed among the classes constituting the social group known as a state.
The Older Theory: The Individual for the State. - The first and the older of these two theories of the state holds that the individual exists for the benefit of the state. The state is supreme. State preservation is the highest function of the individual, both as an individual and as a member of society. Personal pleasure and ambition, family ties, and even life and limb must be unhesitatingly sacrificed at the will of the ruler if the welfare of the state is threatened. Assyria, Egypt, India, Sparta, the modern Mohammedan countries are the classic examples of the civilization and the political organization which have been founded upon the complete repression of the individual.
The State for the Individual. - The more modern conception maintains that the state exists for the benefit of its members. The highest duty of the state is therefore to promote the well-being of its component individuals. Their rights are supreme, their will the ruling force, their needs the ultimate aim, for they are the state. This theory holds that all individuals have ceded certain rights to a central body, the state, for their own better protection.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into fundamental questions about the purpose of education, focusing on principles that are universally relevant. It begins by considering contrasting views on the nature of education: one positing the individual as subservient to the needs of society, and the other prioritizing individual development. The author argues that true educational value results from a balance between individual and societal needs. However, the author emphasizes that education should not prioritize the mere accumulation of knowledge but rather the development of the ability to think critically and independently. The book then goes on to discuss the role of education in promoting social efficiency, arguing that it should prepare individuals for a variety of social roles and responsibilities. Ultimately, the book advocates for education as a means of personal growth and social progress.
