The purpose of this inquiry in the philosophy of education is to get clearer about some aspects of selfeducation which is a form of education that is selfdirected by the individual, produced in deliberately conducted experiments and gained through experience. The conceptual aspects of selfeducation are those which are breaking up the selfeducative process into features like choosing, deciding, and doing. It normative aspects are examined with the help of an hypothesis on what selfeducation ought to be, namely a means and an end following a humanistic line in though and action. The inquiry is undertaken in a Gandhian perspective, i.e., it attempts to demonstrate some principal features of Gandhian though without following their each and every detail. It is at times even a criticism of Gandhian thought and obeys in this the Gandhian desire to examine ruthlessly to arrive at truth About The Author: Dr. Bernd Pflug is a teacher at Kodaikanal International school, Tamilnadu. His research is focused on humanistic aspects in a philosophy of education. The present study was conducted during his Sabbatical 199394 as a Visiting Professor at the School of Gandhian Studies and Peace Science, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala.
