A Flame of Learning
208 Pages, Size - Demmy
Seeing something very clearly and acting instantly is intelligence. Can we have that intelligence among ourselves, first, and then convey it to the student?
Many educators and parents have found Krishnamurti’s insights into the human condition and the nature of learning specially relevant to education. For them and for others who wish to live sanely and wisely in a world of growing confusion, and who wish their children to do the same, this book will be a valued addition to his previous works.
In discussions with teachers at the Brockwood Park School, which he founded in England in 1969, Krishnamurti assumes the role of a person coming to teach in such a school. Frankly and directly, he explores the new teacher's relationship with the school, with his colleagues, and especially with the students, questioning the nature of freedom, the source of fear, and the possibility of awakening intelligence and sensitivity.
Above all, Krishnamurti challenges the teachers—and the readers—to look at the need for a radical psychological change in themselves.
