The slogan is that of the pragmatists. Pragmatism judges knowledge by its practical use and consequences, so it rejects a pursuit of knowledge for its own sake and an education that is purely intellectual; it prefers learning that comes from activity and experience and that helps the learner to live and solve problems.
Idealists give the highest place to knowledge, truth and spiritual values for their own sake, so they would reject the slogan. Realists stress the study of the real world through science, and naturalists stress the freedom and natural development of the child. Neither group rejects knowledge for its own sake in the way the slogan does.
