Summary: "Education and the Higher Life" by John Lancaster Spalding is a philosophical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work explores the purpose and value of education beyond mere academic attainment, arguing for the cultivation of character, ideals, and spiritual growth. Spalding emphasizes the importance of seeking higher truths and living for noble aims, suggesting that these pursuits are essential for meaningful existence. The opening of the book sets the stage by reflecting on the journey of youth and the significance of ideals in shaping one's character and destiny. Spalding asserts that true education is not about accumulating knowledge but about developing the mind and soul to seek and love what is good and true.
