Philosophical Investigations, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 143-161, April 2025.
Abstract Education is twice over concerned with human nature, most extensively as it is presupposed in the pursuit of diverse aims, and more specifically, as understanding it and applying such understanding are themselves made objects of study and teaching.
