Education, The Machine And The Worker

""Education, The Machine And The Worker: An Essay In The Psychology Of Education In Industrial Society"" is a thought-provoking book written by Horace Meyer Kallen, an American philosopher and educator. In this book, Kallen explores the relationship between education, industrialization, and the modern workforce. He argues that the traditional model of education, which emphasizes rote learning and obedience, is no longer suitable for the needs of a rapidly changing industrial society. Instead, Kallen proposes a new approach to education that focuses on developing creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.Kallen also examines the impact of industrialization on the modern workforce, arguing that the rise of machines and automation has led to a dehumanization of labor. He suggests that education can play a crucial role in helping workers to reclaim their humanity and find meaning in their work. Kallen's insights are particularly relevant today, as we grapple with the challenges of automation, globalization, and the changing nature of work.Overall, ""Education, The Machine And The Worker"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on the role of education in modern society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of work, education, and the human experience in the age of machines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
