520			_aThe basic book on Krishnamurti’s vision of a new kind of education. Krishnamurti had a life-long interest in education, and this is the earliest and most expository of his books on the subject. Focussing on the central vision that life ‘has a wider and deeper significance’ and that it is the concern of education to come upon it, he explores various other connected themes—authority versus freedom, the responsibility of teachers and parents, the role of religion in education, discipline, intelligence, and so on.
520			_aJ. Krishnamurti presents a profound philosophy of education that views learning as a lifelong process of self-understanding rather than the mere acquisition of knowledge. The book discusses the true purpose of education, the cultivation of intelligence and freedom, the influence of authority, the responsibilities of teachers and parents, and the importance of education in fostering peace, creativity, and holistic human development. Intended for educators, students, parents, and readers interested in educational philosophy, it remains a seminal work on transformative education.
