Education As Service (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161429503)

Education as Service is a collection of talks and writings by the renowned philosopher and spiritual teacher, Jiddu Krishnamurti, on the subject of education. The book explores Krishnamurti's views on the purpose and nature of education, and how it can be used as a means of personal and social transformation.Krishnamurti argues that education should not be seen as a mere means of acquiring knowledge and skills, but rather as a process of self-discovery and inquiry. He emphasizes the importance of cultivating a holistic approach to education that takes into account the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of human development.The book also addresses the role of the teacher in the educational process, stressing the need for educators to be sensitive, compassionate, and attentive to the needs of their students. Krishnamurti argues that teaching should be seen as a form of service, and that educators should strive to create an environment that fosters creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning.Overall, Education as Service is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the transformative potential of education, and a powerful call to action for educators and learners alike.My Master taught me that Love will enable a man to acquire all other qualities and that ""all the rest without it would never be sufficient."" Therefore no person ought to be a teacher--ought to be allowed to be a teacher--unless he has shown in his daily life that Love is the strongest quality of his nature. It may be asked: How are we to find out whether a person possesses Love to a sufficient degree to make him worthy to be a teacher? Just as a boy shows his natural capacities at an early age for one profession or another, so a particularly strong love-nature would mark a boy out as specially fitted to be an instructor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
