Kant published his only work about education KANT ON EDUCATION in 1803 and the book was regarded as Kant's deepest thoughts of education. In KANT ON EDUCATION, he explained that that education differed from training. He believed that education involved thinking whereas training did not.

He further explored potential solutions to stress the necessity of treating children as children and not as miniature adults.
