Philosophers

PHILOSOPHERS 1. But in truth I know nothing about the philosophy of education except this: that the greatest and the most important difficulty known to human learning seems to lie in that area which treats how to bring up children and how to educate them. (Michel de Montaigne) 2. Plants are shaped by cultivation and men by education. .. We are born

weak, we need strength; we are born totally unprovoked, we need aid; we are born stupid, we need judgment. Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given us by education. (Jean Jacques Rousseau, Emile) 3. There is nothing more necessary than truth, and in comparison with it everything else has only secondary value. 4. This absolute will to truth: what is it? Is it the will to not allow ourselves to be deceived? Is it the will not to deceive? 5. One does not want to be deceived, under the supposition that it is injurious, dangerous, or fatal to be deceived. (Nietzsche, 1890)
