Ultimately, “… it is delightful to realize that through education human nature will be continually improved and brought to a condition worthy of the nature of man. This opens up the prospect of a happier human race in the future” (Kant, Theory of Education). These children must be educated finely to themselves and their dignity must be respected. (1)While Kant strongly supported the development of moral character, he was against the system of rewards and punishments. He believed that "moral culture must be based on maxims, not on discipline" (2). If one made the right decision based solely on a reward or consequence, then one did not possess adequate moral worth. Kant recognized that this system represented one of the greatest challenges in education. Furthermore, some beliefs Kant held are still found in school systems today. Kant had an extremely rigorous view of what education should entail, and many of his ideas have been adapted to modern society. Relatedly, the ultimate goal of education today is still to develop morally sound individuals. With a liberal arts education, we strive to create well-rounded, compassionate people who benefit the world in some way and create knowledgeable, decent people.
