Education and The Significance of Life

128 Pages, Size – Crown

The basic book on Krishnamurti’s vision of a new kind of education.

Krishnamurti had a life-long interest in education, and this is the earliest and most expository of his books on the subject. Focussing on the central vision that life ‘has a wider and deeper significance’ and that it is the concern of education to come upon it, he explores various other connected themes—authority versus freedom, the responsibility of teachers and parents, the role of religion in education, discipline, intelligence, and so on.
