Summary "The New Ideal in Education" by Nikolaj Velimirović is a philosophical address delivered in the early 20th century, specifically in 1916. This book is an educational treatise that critiques the prevailing individualistic model of education and advocates for a new, collective ideal termed "Panhumanism." Velimirović addresses the urgent need for a transformation in educational paradigms, especially in the context of the devastation caused by war, urging society to focus on nurturing children as the key to achieving lasting peace. In this address, Velimirović argues that current educational practices foster egotism and individualism, which ultimately contribute to societal conflicts and war. He emphasizes the importance of education that fosters a sense of collective responsibility and unity among all humans, rather than one that elevates individual achievements. Drawing on spiritual and moral dimensions, he proposes the establishment of an International Board of Education to oversee and guide educational practices globally, promoting mutual understanding and cooperation among nations. Through connecting children from different backgrounds and cultures, Velimirović envisions a future where peace and collaboration become a reality, underpinned by a shared humanistic ethos that transcends national borders.
