This work presents authority as a concept that has two meanings. The primary one denotes power, and the metaphysical one signifies the unquestionable prestige of an individual's personality and education.

In the field of education, authority is encountered in both meanings. The focus of the topic examines the pedagogical and teaching role of authority, as derived from the theoretical and empirical data of research, as well as the critique of authority and the school institution.

This book provides essential information to assist both students of Pedagogical Departments and Teacher Training Schools, as well as educators in better exercising their teaching work, as required by the modern school in our time.
