Education in the Light of Tradition: Studies in Comparative Religion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781935493990)

C.S. Lewis once remarked, "Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil." In most modern cultures, their education systems are often portrayed by the media to be "failing" and in need of reform. In this unique collection of 19 essays, a diverse collection of authors examine the traditional principles of education and how knowledge and values are transmitted within traditional societies.
