Axiom: The ultimate end to all education is emendation of the intellect.
Intellect: Ability to solve complex problems as quickly and accurately as possible.
Requirements: Abstract perception and logical reasoning skills. The former cannot be taught. One either is able to generate abstract perceptions or is not. One is either imaginative or not imaginative. However, one's logical reasoning skills could be cultivated in a very systematic fashion.
Role of education in emendation of the intellect: Furnishing of logical reasoning skills.
How is this to be done?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Three components of education: 1. Logic/Mathematics. 2. Philosophy. 3.Rhetoric
Logic teaches us the patterns of reasoning and sharpens our reasoning skills directly. Philosophy teaches us to apply these skills to solving all problems that we could envisage. Rhetoric teaches us to communicate our ideas to others and therefore allows for us to assist on another in our task to cultivate our reasoning skills.
