About this book

In the wake of American colonial rule, "The Legacy of Ignorantism" by T. H. Pardo de Tavera emerges as a pivotal critique of education and morality in Philippine society. Delivered as a public address in 1920 and published the following year, this document challenges the pervasive superstitions that stifle progress. Pardo de Tavera argues for the necessity of enlightenment and rational thought, emphasizing the importance of education as a tool for liberation. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites readers to reflect on the implications of ignorance and the moral responsibilities of society. Dive into this compelling examination of cultural identity and societal evolution, and discover the enduring relevance of its themes in today's world.
