Description

Explore a profound examination of human nature and educational theory in Of Human Potential (Routledge Revivals). Originally published in 1985, Israel Scheffler's work addresses the widespread concept of potential used by parents, educators, and planners globally. While the idea of potential reflects central aspects of being human, Scheffler argues that its common usage often relies on outdated myths of fixity and harmony. These misconceptions can lead to unintended consequences in social and educational practices. This Routledge Revival edition provides an analytical approach to demythologize the concept of potential. By identifying its roots in genuine human nature while stripping away outworn philosophical myths, Scheffler offers a clearer perspective for those working in education and social planning. This book is an essential read for students and professionals interested in the deep philosophical foundations that shape how we understand human growth and development.
