Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive account of the history of education from ancient civilizations to the 16th century, demonstrating the connection between educational traditions and sociocultural contexts. It begins with the notion that education is not merely the transmission of knowledge but also a reflection of prevailing ideals and practices within a society. The author explores this idea through detailed examinations of educational systems in ancient Greece, Rome, medieval Europe, and the Renaissance. By analyzing primary sources from each period, the book offers profound insights into the evolution of educational thought and practice. This book contributes to a deeper understanding of how education shapes, and is shaped by, the broader cultural, social, and political forces that drive human civilization.
