Description

“. . . a remarkable book. . . . A most penetrating study of education.”
–Saturday Review of Literature

“. . . an admirable defense of the critical mind in education . . . Sidney Hook is among the the Children of the Light, that is to say, of the Enlightenment.”
–Albert Guerard, New York Herald Tribune

“. . . Mr. Hook has put his finger . . . upon the profound fallacy of most of the current attempts to ‘reorganize’ higher education . . . exciting reading”
–Howard Mumford Jones, New York Times

“. . . needed by anyone who wishes to have a comprehensive view of the problems of modern education.”
–Wendell Johnson, Chicago Sun

“Sidney Hook brings . . . a new high standard of sanity and clarity. . . . For sheer excellence of logic, and for magic of comprehensiveness, the book is head and shoulders above all recent competitors.”
–William Randel, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“. . . a fine book . . . it has the advantage of Mr. Hook’s dissecting mind, operating with the cleanness of a surgical instrument.”
–Jerome Nathanson, The New Republic

“Wisely sane.”
–John Dewey
