This is what a great scientist of the 19/20th had to say:
 century"Au fond, l'objet essentiel d'une éducation digne de ce nom sera toujours l'étude complète de la personne humaine placée naturellement dans son milieu et dans ses conditions d'existence. On peut soutenir presque sans paradoxe qu'il n'y a qu'un seul objet de connaissance : notre vie intérieure."
Louis de Broglie

(approximate translation) "Actually, the essential object of a genuin education will always be the complete study of the human person in their natural medium and conditions of existence. One can say almost without paradox that there is only one object of knowledge: our interior life"
