Therefore, Kant said that, through inner conversion, one should come to place moral law above self-love, and that duty so orders it. Respect for morality, trust in science and reverence for God characterize his views on education and on humankind. He held that when people based themselves upon something simple and pure, they come to do good by intuitively apprehending fundamental principles. He also held that education starts from maternal love in the family, arid asserted that family education forms the basis of education. The internal power that unites these powers is love.
Love is the basis of heart power and the driving force of moral and religious education.
Accordingly, lie advocated that those three types of education should be harmoniously united, centering on moral and religious education. The aim of education was to cultivate human nature and build a moral and religious nation and society. According to Froebel, nature and humans are unified by God and move according to God's law. Divine nature constitutes the essence of all things, and the mission of all things is to express, reveal, and develop such a nature. Therefore, people should manifest in their lives the divine nature inherent within them, and education should guide people in that direction.
