Written with both the cultural and moral crisis and the challenge
of the future in mind, Peter Abbs's book charts an open, clear, and
positive way forward for education. Divided into four sections, the
first examines the true and fitting ends of education and outlines
a positive conception of education as an initiation into critical
enquiry and the personal art of learning. The two middle sections
consider aesthetic education. Abbs confronts government approaches
to arts teaching and offers an alternative dynamic paradigm within
which the creativity of the culture (transmitted down the ages) and
the creativity of the individual (seen as biologically given) must
be combined. The outcome of this is explored, in detail, in
relation to the teaching of literature, creative writing and drama.
The final section offers critical appraisals of influential figures
in the arts field:;Herbert Reid, the late Peter Fuller and David
Holbrook.
