1015. A Reading of “Democratic Education” by C.S. Lewis (Christ and Classics, 22)

In this short essay, C. S. Lewis explores the concept of democratic education and its relationship to preserving democracy. Lewis argues against the abolition of compulsory subjects and emphasizes the need for a wide curriculum that provides opportunities for every student. He questions the desirability and feasibility of a nation educated democratically. Lewis also examines the two sources of the demand for equality—fair play (good) and envy (very bad)—and the dangers of attempting to propitiate evil passions. He advocates for an aristocratic and highbrow education that prioritizes the interests of intellectually curious students.
