'Knowledge is Virtue', this statement with reference to .......... .
Answer: B
'Knowledge is Virtue' is associated with Idealism.
The statement is Socrates' doctrine, developed by Plato, the founder of idealism. For the idealists, true knowledge is knowledge of eternal ideas such as the Good, and a person who truly knows the good will do it, so wrongdoing comes from ignorance. Education, in this view, aims at developing the mind and character through knowledge of these ideas.
Naturalism stresses nature and the child's own development, pragmatism judges ideas by their practical results, and spiritualism (in the Indian sense) aims at self-realisation. None of them makes knowledge itself the same as virtue.
