Hirst s theory of liberal education believes that individuals can initiate the forms of knowledge and form rational thinking to reach a free mind. On the other hand, there has been criticism that liberal education cannot bring about the development of the whole mind. Existing discussion believe that the development of the whole mind is possible based on the concept of social practice, which is to redefine the nature of the standard of life, rather than the forms of knowledge.
19C Western philosopher Nietzsche considers humans to be perceive by desire with a Leib. According to him, rational thinking emphasized in liberal education theory is to interpret phenomena, that is, results as causes, and to interpret them casually, that is, to judge them. This is just a justification of one s situation and thoughts by attributing the situation and object of life that are not understood by the human ideological frame to someone s ideological frame.
According to Nietzsche, humans are beings with the will to power (der wille zur macht). Individuals can reach a free mind when they reflect on the characteristics of their own consciousness frame(framework) to draw objects that are not identified by the human ideological frame into the existing ideological frame by the power of their own will. At this time, the whole mind s development can be achieved. Based on Nietzsche s theory existence, an insufficient explanation of the relationship between knowledge and the whole mind that is a criticism of rationalistic liberal education should be regarded as a problem that arises because it does not properly explain how rational thinking that will result in free mind s development.
