About the Content
The ancient Greek community was one of the highest points that humanity has ever reached. Almost all of the scientific disciplines we know of today have been founded in this golden age. Moreover, the fundamental forms of arts were studied to the point of perfection, again in this period. Poetry, geometry, biology, logic, physics, civil engineering, athletism, sculpture... can all be traced back to the Ancient Greek intellectuals.
That is why the collection starts with Meno by Plato. The following piece is the 7th and 8th books of Aristotle's Politics. These are the main texts on education and child development from the golden era of classical Greek society.
Only after the European Renaissance and Reformation, humanity has re-reached the heights of the ancient Greek culture. The third piece in the collection by Francis Bacon tells the story of this transformation and focuses on the education of individuals.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Education was treated more scientifically. Pedagogy or Pedagogics emerged as the formal doctrine of human education. From this period, we have two treatises (the 4th and 5th books in the collection) on the merits of this new science called Pedagogy.
The 6th book in the collection is the seminal work of James Sully on developmental psychology. Sully's observations and the theoretical frame he proposed have been among the cornerstones of the 20th-century psychologies on child development.
The last three pieces of the collection are from John Dewey. He is arguably the most influential figure in the formations of the education systems of the most prosperous countries, including Germany, the US, England, and Finland. Dewey's ideas on education have influenced any pedagogical approaches ever since. We selected the most concise and straightforward books by Dewey for the reader's convenience in the collection.
