520 ## - ABSTRACT
Summary, etc. The Aims of Education is a collection of essays that examines the fundamental purposes and goals of education from philosophical, social, and moral perspectives. Edited by Roger Marples, the book brings together different scholars who debate what education should achieve in modern society.<br/><br/>The contributors explore major educational aims such as the development of individual autonomy, critical thinking, moral values, citizenship, personal fulfillment, and social responsibility. A central theme throughout the book is whether education should primarily prepare individuals for economic productivity, democratic participation, or personal growth. The essays also analyze the influence of liberal philosophy on educational theory, especially the idea that education should help learners become independent and rational decision-makers.<br/><br/>In addition, the book discusses issues such as equality in education, cultural identity, curriculum design, and the relationship between education and social justice. Some authors argue that schools should transmit shared cultural and moral values, while others emphasize creativity, freedom, and learner-centered approaches.<br/><br/>Overall, the book presents education as a complex and evolving concept shaped by societal values, political systems, and philosophical beliefs. It encourages readers to critically reflect on what the true aims of education should be in contemporary society and how educational systems can better serve both individuals and communities.
