ABSTRACT
I think of a curriculum as a constitution, a way of life for the intellectual and moral development of human beings under the aegis of the school. This conception has its origin in social philosophy, not in pedagogy. In this view, the goals that the curriculum sets are secondary, not primary. That is, the goals are secondary to the image that a people have of the kind of society they want and the qualities that human beings must have to bring that society to realization and to sustain and improve it.
