(James Joseph) Education: How Old The New Produced by Don Kostuch "Education: How Old The New" by James J. Walsh is a scholarly work written in the early 20th century. This text explores the historical foundations and principles of education, suggesting that many current educational theories and practices are not as novel as often believed, but rather rooted in ancient ideas. Walsh emphasizes the importance of connecting modern educational methods to their historical context to better understand their true significance. The opening of the work lays the groundwork for this exploration by addressing a common misconception that modern education has dramatically advanced compared to the past. Walsh argues that many principles in education are timeless, having roots stretching back thousands of years, as exemplified through a discussion of the ancient "Instructions of Ptah Hotep." He introduces the idea that previous generations developed sophisticated educational practices and moral frameworks that continue to resonate today. This sets the tone for a deeper investigation into how past educational systems can inform and enhance contemporary approaches, urging educators to learn from history rather than dismiss it as archaic.
