ABSTRACT

This article addresses the life and educational thinking of Victor Lytton, second Earl of Lytton, who not only involved himself in a wide number of social causes but was instrumental in contributing to the development of progressive education in the early decades of the twentieth century. This he did through his work with the New Ideals in Education conferences but also as he became embroiled with Homer Lane and the Little Commonwealth. Lytton also write a number of books that developed a new theory of education. Drawing upon the archives held at Knebworth House, the paper seeks to explore Lytton’s life and thought both by exploring his involvement with various causes but also by a close textual reading of his unique educational philosophy, which appeared as a combination of Christ and Freud. By so doing it seeks to reintegrate Lytton as a significant figure in the progressive educational tradition.

摘要

本文讲述了第二任利顿伯爵维克多·利顿的生活和教育思想，他不仅参与了广泛的社会事业，而且为 20 世纪早期的进步教育的发展做出了贡献。这是他通过他在教育新理想会议上的工作以及在他卷入荷马莱恩和小英联邦的过程中做到的。利顿还撰写了许多发展新教育理论的书籍。这篇论文借鉴了 Knebworth House 的档案，试图通过探索利顿参与各种原因的活动，以及仔细阅读他独特的教育哲学（表现为基督和弗洛伊德的结合）来探索他的生活和思想。
