Evolutionary Humanism: A Foundation for a Theory of Education: A Foundation For, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Evolutionary Humanism: A Foundation for a Theory of Education</strong> is a groundbreaking philosophical and educational dissertation by Khalil H.Khalil Ed.D that explores the relationship between human evolution, culture, consciousness, and education. Originally presented to the Graduate School of the University of Massachusetts in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education, this influential work offers a comprehensive synthesis of evolutionary science, humanistic philosophy, and educational theory.</p><p></p><p>Drawing upon the works of Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, Henri Bergson, Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Sir Julian Huxley, Khalil develops the concept of "Evolutionary Humanism" as a modern worldview that interprets humanity as an evolving psychosocial phenomenon. The book argues that human consciousness, culture, science, religion, ethics, and social institutions are all products of evolution and that education serves as the primary mechanism for advancing human development and global progress.</p><p></p><p>The dissertation examines how evolutionary thought transformed traditional cosmological and philosophical perspectives and proposes a new framework for understanding education as a dynamic force in psychosocial evolution. Khalil presents education not merely as the transmission of knowledge, but as a means of shaping humanity's collective future, improving global survival, fostering cross-cultural understanding, and enhancing the quality of life.</p><p></p><p>The work further explores the implications of evolutionary humanism for international education, science education, curriculum development, and formal schooling systems. Through a multidisciplinary approach that bridges philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and educational theory, the author offers educators and scholars a visionary model for aligning education with the future needs of humanity.</p><p></p><p>Intellectually rich and deeply thought-provoking, <strong>Evolutionary Humanism: A Foundation for a Theory of Education</strong> is an essential resource for readers interested in philosophy of education, human development, cultural evolution, sociology, global education, and modern humanistic thought.</p>
