Bertrand Russell is considered to be one of the most significant
educational innovators of his time. In this influential and
controversial work, Russell calls for an education that would liberate
the child from unthinking obedience to parental and religious authority.
He argues that if the basis of all education is knowledge wielded by
love then society can be transformed. One of Bertrand Russell's most
definitive works, the remarkable ideas and arguments in On Education
are just as insightful and applicable today as they were on first
publication in 1926.
