Education

“Education is a much larger, and a much more comprehensive subject than learning is.” “Learning is the very heart of education.” Mortimer Adler

Adler goes on to discuss how the school system, political system, content taught, etc., are representative of education. Learning is a large component of education. Learning involves different animal and human theories of learning.

Learning also involves different types of learning: intellectual, moral, and emotional learning, for example. The focus here will be on intellectual learning.

Topics or categories that we are investigating ourselves and that perhaps you may find helpful regarding intellectual learning include:
