Basic viewpoints: Starting from individual instinctive needs, it emphasizes that education should obey the law of human growth and meet human needs, attaches importance to the value of education to individuals, and advocates that the purpose of education is to cultivate "natural persons", develop human personality, enhance human value and promote individual self-realization.

Basic evaluation: the individualistic teleology of education has strong humanitarian characteristics, and it is of positive significance to emphasize the needs of human nature and the free development of individuals. However, in the process of discussion, it is inevitably idealistic, without considering the needs of social development, and there is also obvious one-sidedness in the process of social development.
