Oh yeah. I feel the older I get the more moral obligations I pile up. I've spent a fair fraction of my life trying to do the 'right thing' and there is a price for that. Moral Obligations.
When I read Kant's words about education I thought of a statistic that I saw relatively recently. In the US, 33% of the population never reads another book after they finish formal education. 33%! 55% read less than 5 books in the rest of their lives.
I rest Kant's case.
Good for you, @bigtom13 It certainly understand your sentiments.
Yeah, Kant is very interesting and I think it's worthwhile to delve into his work and others just to get a deeper perspective on things we might not normally consider.
As to educational statistic, yes it is sad. And I believe your statistics because there is 'stagnation'.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
