Synopsis

This book contends that the core principles of learning methodology are not abstract principles reducible to a rote skill set but are instead the result of understanding the interplay between two core aspects: understanding the nature of the subject matter itself and understanding the nature of the human mind. Fundamentally, every branch of study has a core organizing principle that gives it its coherence, and the act of studying is a four-fold process that involves taking in undifferentiated wholes, separating out the distinct elements, creating a coherent unified understanding from them, and habit-forming by exploring the unity of the object under various conditions. The author asserts that it is only by understanding these core principles that the teacher and learner become capable of methodically approaching any subject of study and rendering it into active mind stuff. This book will be of paramount interest to anyone seeking to understand the philosophical underpinnings of teaching and learning.
