This book shows clearly how philosophy can be applied to education in an effective manner. It is applied metaphysics in the fullest sense--a truly practical philosophy book.

Robert Brumbaugh shows convincingly how our current educational practices are based on a metaphysics derived from seventeenth-century physics. Our modern understanding of reality implies a very different view of education and very different educational practices. He also shows how and why this new process view of education differs from the "back to basics" diagnosis and prescription.
