The world is that way – deceptive, the deceiving politicians, the money-minded. If you are not properly educated, you’ll just slip into it. So what is education? Is it to help you fit into the mechanism of the present order, or disorder, of things?
This and many more similar questions posed to senior students by Krishnamurti form the contents of this book, which contains mainly the dialogues he held in the 1970s in the school he founded in Brockwood Park, England. These lively and often intimate exchanges turn on practical, everyday matters as well as wider philosophical issues.

These special sessions took the form of Krishnamurti answering questions on education put to him by the audience. As Krishnamurti emphasizes in his opening remarks, his chief, if not sole, concern is that it is ‘the educator who needs educating’. By which he means that…
