But it is no longer possible to take a narrow view of intelligence as ’academic knowledge, * isolating cognitive growth from moral growth and the general matura tion of the person. This view appears untenable not go much for reasons of philosophy, but rather because our knowledge of the nature of human per sonality forces us to conclude that cognitive growth which is separated from the develop ment of other aspects of the human personality is illusory or distorted.” ”To this end, we need to re appraise our teaching In or der to shift the emphasis from merely transmitting knowledge to advancing the student's per ception of the relationship be tween the subject matter and the Quality of his own life.
