individual to become a perfect pattern.
• Since man is a spiritual being “ the divine in man” should be
unfolded and brought his consciousness by means of
education.

chosen few. Since it is universal all the individuals
should realize self, and education should aim at
this.

• Idealist believe that man himself is the creator of cultural
environment. Religion, morality, art, literature, mathematics and
science are the product of man’s moral & intellectual and
aesthetic activity

importance of culture and its components. He should contribute
to his culture and make every effort to preserve it.

appreciation of truth.
