History of Educational Philosophy in the Enlightenment: Condillac and Destutt de Tracy
Abstract
The article examines the main elements of Condillac’s concept of education: analysis as a method of teaching, the development of the ability to think as the main goal of educational process, the role of history and philosophy in it. The author analyzes also the major provisions of Destutt de Tracy’s project of public education (1801): schools for workers, the specifics of general and special education. The article makes an observation about the weaknesses of the doctrines of the two thinkers, and notes their ideas which have proved their viability and remain relevant presently.
