Two Concepts of Education? A Reply to D. J. O'Connor.

Jonathan, Ruth M.

Journal of Philosophy of Education, v16 n2 p147-54 1982

Refutes O'Connor's argument for replacing humanities education with an emphasis on science and mathematics (see "Two Concepts of Education," p. 137, this issue). Concludes that the humanities deserve as serious a place in popular education as the sciences; both emphases form society and its purposes. (Author/KC)
