In this article, in order to rethink“what are the aims of education for individuals as human beings?”, we try to describe the nature of Nunn’s philosophy of education and the historical origins of progressive education from his book, Education: Its data and first principles（thereafter Education）,2 particularly in chapters one to three dealing with the aims of education and individual life. We also consider some practical ideas in present day progressive education. In the conclusion we suggest that the aims of education in his philosophy of education are compelled to reflect the development of individuals as a whole. In terms of contemporary education we consider the development of IQ, EQ, SQ with reference to the 3D theory of intelligences. We consider that Percy Nunn’s view of the main aims of education is that children who learn to love learning are able to grow into an enlightened and civilized personality/character.
