From here, this study asks if it is sufficient to consider aims, competencies, and habits as the ultimate purposes of education. Each of these purposes of education has formed relevant educational trends today. It concludes, following an analysis from the anthropological proposal of Leonardo Polo, that these ends are necessary, as partial purposes, but they achieve only the growth of human nature, not that of the person.</p> ER -
