Education and the significance of life

ABOUT THE BOOK: J Krishnamurti had a life-long interest in education, and Education and significance of Life is the earliest and most expository of his books on the subject. Focusing 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, discipline, intelligence, the nature of creativity, and the role of religion in education. Krishnamurti stresses that an environment free of fear is essential for creating an atmosphere in which real education can take place.
