FIRST PART.
The General Idea of Education.
§ 12. A full treatment of Pedagogics must distinguish——
(1) The nature of Education;
(2) The form of Education;
(3) The limits of Education.
_I.——The Nature of Education._
§ 13. The nature of Education is determined by the nature of mind, the
distinguishing mark of which is that it can be developed only from
within, and by its own activity. Mind is essentially free——_i.e._, it
has the capacity for freedom——but it cannot be said to possess freedom
till it has obtained it by its own voluntary effort. Till then it cannot
be truly said to be free. Education consists in enabling a human being
to take possession of, and to develop himself by, his own efforts, and
the work of the educator cannot be said to be done in any sense where
this is not accomplished. In general, we may say that the work of
education consists in leading to a full development of all the inherent
powers of the mind, and that its work is done when, in this way, the
mind has attained perfect freedom, or the state in which alone it can be
said to be truly itself.[8]
