We may say that when we use language, or a probe, or a tool, and thus make ourselves aware of these things as we are of our body, we interiorize these things and make ourselves dwell in them. Such extensions of ourselves develop new faculties in us; our whole education operates in this way; each of us interiorizes our cultural heritage, he grows into a person seeing the world and experiences life in terms of this outlook. (from Michael Polyani “The Logic of Tacit Inference” (Knowing and Being)
What do you think of this quotation?
I love it because it challenges the idea that education is an accumulation of facts, of external knowledge, of developing skills detached from who we are.
Education is to do with “indwelling”, within a science, an art, a language, a literature, a history; so that it becomes “interiorised” within our person.
It challenges the idea that education is simply for utility and not for our personal growth.
Let me know what you think.

Absolutely. Every experience everything we see or read or touch or hear is absorbed or rejected and therefore shapes us, nurturing and growing and pruning us into transformation.
