| - Essay on a Course of Liberal Education for Civil and Active Life (1765) is an educational treatise by the 18th-century British polymath Joseph Priestley. Dedicated to the governing board of Warrington Academy at which Priestley was a tutor, it argues that the education of young people should anticipate their practical needs, something Priestley accused the current universities, Dissenting and Establishment alike, of failing to do. In Priestley's eyes, the contemporary focus on a traditional classical education prevented students from acquiring useful skills. This principle of utility guided his unconventional curricular choices for Warrington's aspiring middle-class businessmen. He proposed that students study English and the modern languages instead of the classical languages, learn practical mathematics, read modern rather than ancient history, and study the constitution and laws of England. He believed that these topics would prepare his students for the commercial middle-class life that most of them would live; he did not believe that the poor should receive this same education, arguing "it could be of no service to their country, and often a real detriment to themselves." The board was convinced and in 1766 Warrington Academy replaced its classical curriculum with Priestley's liberal arts model. Some scholars of education have argued that this work and Priestley's later (1778) (often reprinted with the Essay on Education) made Priestley the "most considerable English writer on educational philosophy" between the 17th-century John Locke and the 19th-century Herbert Spencer.

- Essay on a Course of Liberal Education for Civil and Active Life est un traité d'éducation, publié en 1765, par le polymathe britannique Joseph Priestley. Dédié au conseil d'administration de la Warrington Academy au sein de laquelle Priestley enseigne alors, l'ouvrage soutient que l'éducation des jeunes devrait anticiper leurs besoins pratiques, chose qu'il accuse aussi bien les universités dissidentes qu'officielles de ne pas faire. Aux yeux de Priestley, se concentrer sur l'étude des classiques empêche les étudiants d'acquérir des compétences utiles. Ce principe d'utilité guide son choix d'un programmes, non conventionnel, destiné aux étudiants de la classe moyenne qui fréquentent Warrington. Il propose que les élèves étudient l'anglais et les langues modernes au lieu des langues classiques, apprennent les mathématiques, lisent l'histoire moderne, plutôt que celle de l'Antiquité, et étudient la constitution et les lois de l'Angleterre. Il estime que ces sujets prépareraient mieux ses étudiants, provenant de la classe moyenne des commerçants, à la vie qui les attend. Il ne pense pas que les pauvres doivent recevoir le même enseignement, faisant valoir « qu'il ne pourrait être d'aucune utilité pour leur pays et, souvent, un réel préjudice pour eux-mêmes ». Le conseil est convaincu et, en 1766, la Warrington Academy remplace sa voie classique par celle des arts libéraux de Priestley. (fr)
