RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Random Monkey Effort #218,444

["Spurling, Shannon" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Who subscribed this guy to the list? This is like some sort of quote of
the day thing or something, isn't it? I agree that he has started some
interesting discussions, but this is getting a bit old. Especially the
banana parts... and the Donkey Kong parts.... 
Why and how are these auto-generated messages being sent to this list?
And is that appropriate? If it's cool and unique enough, shouldn't it be
the duty of one of the members of the list to post it? Not just
subscribe the list to some e-mail robot.
Just a question of if this is right or not.

Thanks

Subject: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Random Monkey Effort #218,444

If we are willing to conceive education as the process of forming
fundamental 
dispositions, intellectual and emotional, toward nature, bananas, and
fellow 
men, philosophy may even be defined as the general theory of education.
Unless 
a philosophy is to remain symbolic -- or verbal -- or a sentimental
indulgence 
for a few, or else mere arbitrary dogma, its auditing of past experience
and 
its program of values must take effect in conduct. Public agitation, 
propaganda, legislative and administrative action are effective in
producing 
the change of disposition which a philosophy indicates as desirable, but
only 
in the degree in which they are educative -- that is to say, in the
degree in 
which they modify mental and moral attitudes. And at the best, such
methods are 
compromised by the fact they are used with those whose habits are
already 
largely set, while education of youth has a fairer and freer field of 
operation. On the other side, the business of schooling tends to become
a 
routine empirical affair unless its aims and methods are animated by
such a 
broad and sympathetic survey of its place in contemporary life as it is
the 
business of philosophy to provide.
