Summary "The Reform of Education" by Giovanni Gentile is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work explores crucial concepts surrounding education, emphasizing its role in national identity and personal development. Gentile argues for a reformed educational system that fosters critical inquiry rather than rote learning, establishing a deep connection between education and culture. At the start of the text, the author highlights the limitations of traditional elementary education, pointing out that teachers often view knowledge as static and unchangeable. He advocates for a dynamic approach, suggesting that universities should invigorate educators' minds through ongoing inquiry and doubt, instead of confining them to outdated methods. The opening also presents a broader discussion on the relationship between education, nationality, and personal identity, establishing a foundational premise for the reform anticipated in subsequent chapters.
