Abstract | "What is the role of higher knowledge and education in molding the individual and in creating certain attributes of the individual?" The attributes of the individual in question are derived from Marx and they signify an individual who is autonomous, free and capable to determine her own future and discover and actualize her own kinds of needs in the process of human development. I have labeled these attributes as the "Marxian attributes of the individual." This study explores various components of the philosophy of education from Classical Marxism to Early Soviet Marxism and to Enver Hoxha. By analyzing the role of the revolution, praxis, and social structures that foster education such as the state, the party, the school, and the family in Hoxha's "Veprat," this research provides a rich understanding of the philosophy of education, and the Marxian attributes of the individual within it. An analysis of Hoxha's writings has demonstrated that Hoxha undertook a revolution and constructed an idea of education to thwart the Marxian attributes of the individual which he found threatening. However, his idealistic idea/goal of revolution and education which had a planned outcome was incapable to eliminate these attributes. I have argued this to be justifiable because higher education and higher knowledge foster and develop the Marxian attributes of the individual which stand in contrast to a form of education and revolution that has an end in mind, and hence it undermined Hoxha's revolution. Hoxha's experience warns that higher learning cannot co-exist with a form/idea of education that has a determined end in mind, because, by definition, it will undermine it.
