A Modern Education, Advice for Ariston by Alan Macfarlane

British education is designed to teach about society and power, play and performance, the head and the heart, the spirit and character. It is a preparation for a certain kind of 'modernity.' This book explains how education can make us modern and the way in which such an education is different from that of Europe and China. Alan Macfarlane, F.B.A., is an Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Cambridge University and a Life Fellow of King's College. His website is alanmacfarlane.com
