| Summary: |
Spyros Themelisaims to inform students, scholars, and educators about the complex processes and factors that promote or impede education's potential to enhance individual advancement within the socioeconomic structure of a late-industrialized country, clmely Greece, within the context of modern capitalism. At the same time,he offers a critique of the instrumental role that education has played in similar contexts, where education's potential has been restricted to the promotion of economic imperatives at the expense of wider considerations, such as self-fulfillment, intellectual and spiritual development, and the family and wider community. |
