Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS the world do not form a single continuum of experience . . . but are necessarily separate in nature, because man is free whereas things are not" (p. 69). Whether or not Kneller is right about discontinuity he does educational theory a service in drawing attention to the educational significance of freedom. One of the dead ends of the theory of education is the tendency of people, some of whom presumably believe, in other contexts, in free will, to discuss the mind as if it were capable of conditioning and as if this conditioning were education. It is time that attention was directed to the difficult problem of the relation of mind and causality. It is a central problem for education. MARGARET MACKIE, Teachers' College, Armidale. Greek Education 450-350 B.C. Frederick A. G. Beck. London. Methuen. 1964. Pp. 381. 45/- Sterling. I t is a little embarrassing to review a book in which one is very cordially the introduction. In fact Mr. Beck is more generous than is due, thanked in as my assistance was slight in quantity and limited in range; I feel therefore as impartial towards this book as to any other on the topic.
