A Study on the Axiological Foundation of Adler s Reading Education Theory

Even if all human activities are valuable in that it pursues certain kind of real good, Adler insists that the most valuable activity is leisure-work because it leads to the continuous growth of the individual s mind, develops prudence and helps realize his happiness. Adler recognize that happiness is ‘a good life as a whole’. According to him, it is the only universal form of happiness that everyone should realize. In order to realize ‘a good life as a whole’, everyone should be able to distinguish real good and apparent good by his prudence. Adler considers reading is the most important leisure-work. Reading makes every person a free man with prudence by achieving mental, moral, spiritual growth. Ultimately, Reading education contributes to the realization of all human s happiness.
