{"product_id":"sobre-educacion","title":"About education","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Educators, more than any other class of professionals, are the guardians of civilization.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this essay On Education, Russell starts from the idea that the education we want for our children depends on our ideals about human beings. He thus attacks the educational system of the time, in the hands of the Church or the State, which he accuses of creating herds, instilling conformity, authoritarianism, and nationalism. Russell seeks to educate free and sensitive personalities, cultivated in curiosity, trust in effort, and a sense of adventure. He and his wife Dora created a school in Beacon Hill where they tried to put their educational ideals into practice. The current value of these essays lies in the calm and rational nature of his analysis, the clarity of his proposals, and the pleasantness of their reading: \"All I have to say,\" writes Russell, \"is but the result of my concerns regarding my children; there is, therefore, nothing remote or theoretical in it, and I hope it will help other parents to clarify ideas, either to share or to reject my opinions.\" A book in which Russell himself achieves what he wanted for children: to awaken curiosity and reflection, turning his discourse into an entertaining adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ernesto Sabato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43050386194680,"sku":"9788467032499","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4897\/5608\/products\/sobre-educacion_9788467032499.jpg?v=1667087685","url":"https:\/\/ellector.com.pa\/es\/products\/sobre-educacion","provider":"Librerías El Lector Panamá","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
