I do not kno...Melissa, that's a great question! I do not know much about Lord Haldane (although he has an interesting Canadian legal connection), but I'll give you my opinion based on the little I've read, and if I'm wrong I hope somebody will correct me. He was very important and well known in British politics and education, and I'm sure Charlotte Mason would have known of him and read things that he said (as in the Vol. 6 quote), but I don't know of any direct connection or influence on her otherwise. I think he was probably too "Hegelian" to have been much in line with her thinking; he supported a certain type of efficiency and outward success (alluded to in the Contentious Quote) that, in my mind, aren't very CM. But I think he had the right idea, at least in this article, about art and beauty.Anne Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04094131363286846013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314975175792696409.post-59146918092968234222015-01-09T14:53:34.252-06:002015-01-09T14:53:34.252-06:00It's ironic that you posted this Haldane quote...It's ironic that you posted this Haldane quote this week. I just read the Intro and first two chapters of Vol. 6, A Philosophy of Education in which Charlotte quotes Lord Haldane saying, "Eduction is a matter of the spirit." I did a brief search of Haldane, but I'm looking for more solid information. What was his stance on education? Did he and Charlotte know each other? Did Charlotte agree with his view of education? I'm assuming they were contemporaries. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832248267539572189noreply@blogger.com
