- W350650874 abstract "How believable is the evaluation 4 'failed' ' applied to the educations of the likes of John Stuart Mill and Henry Adams? As one reads Mill's Autobiography andThe Education of Henry Adams, each a testimony to failure, one wants to demur: yes, but look what Mill and Adams have made of their failures. However much the autobiographers themselves may protest the anguish, the futility, the distortion of their intellectual developments, the reader may be eager to insist that the brilliance of the products serves to validate, or at least mitigate, the process each experienced and (perhaps disingenuously) recorded. But if we do insist in this way, our act of reading may fail. Success and failure are relative terms; they can be defined in these two books only in relation to some educational goal distinct from the literary product of introspection. A reader's effort to locate the' 'great man lurking in the autobiographical record or persona may obscure the vulnerable human being patiently, purposefully exhibiting his failures of mind and sensibility for public inspection. Mill and Adams had some preoccupations and dilemmas in com mon: distant relationships with their fathers, an insistence on distin guishing instruction from self-education, religious skepticism openly professed, a nearly idolatrous reverence for women, a hunger for po litical influence which turned, for each of them, to political disen chantment. But despite this shared pattern of experience, to which each traced many of the causes of his sense of failure, Mill and Adams were not intellectual twins. Their acknowledgments of educational failure are complementary, not identical, and suggest two approaches to both the nature of education and the nature of failure?approaches not simply peculiar to two eccentrically gifted nineteenth-century personalities, but pertinent to any thoughtful consideration of the aims of education in our own time. How Mill and Adams defined, confronted, and evaluated failure in their autobiographies can teach us something about the complexities and uncertainties of education, and can offer bracing challenges to some of our own dearest contem porary cliches about what education means and what failure implies." @default.
