Philosophy

“The purpose of education is not to make people admire ready-made legislation, but to enable them to appreciate and correct it. It is not a question of subjecting each generation to the opinions and will of the previous one, but of enlightening them more and more, so that each person becomes increasingly worthy of governing themselves by their own reason.” – “On Public Education”, Condorcet (1791-1792)
