Of Human Potential (Routledge Revivals)

The exploration of potential reveals its significance in shaping human nature, yet the author critiques its traditional interpretations that hinder social and educational practices. By demythologizing the concept, first introduced in 1985, Israel Scheffler uncovers its true roots while dismantling outdated philosophical beliefs. His analytical reconstruction enhances the theoretical understanding and practical application of potential, offering a fresh perspective for parents, educators, and planners.
