First published in 1953, this classic Krishnamurti work demonstrates
that education which does not result in deep integration of thought,
feeling, and outlook is useless. Many contemporary methods of teaching
emphasize slavish conformity to mass values and overstress the
importance of technique; Education and the Significance of Life offers
an alternative approach that stresses self-knowledge and a atmosphere of
freedom and love for the child, to help create an atmosphere in which
real education can take place. Education and the Significance of Life is
a penetrating inquiry into the nature and requirements of the kind of
education that can lead to self-fulfillment and ultimately, to world
peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 - 1986) was a world-renowned spiritual teacher.

people of all ages. He is the author of numerous books.
