This essay contrasts Nietzsche's remarks on elite education with W.E.B. Du Bois' demand for democratized education. The essay takes their remarks as springboards for a twenty-first century philosophy of education rather than an historical account of their philosophies. Both thinkers cultivated Kant and Hegel's dream that the spirit of freedom guided by reason would unite all the world's peoples. Both held that education was key to realizing the dream. Their judgments about qualifying for education separated them. Nietzsche insisted that only the elite should receive the fullest measure of education. Du Bois believed that in the future virtually every human being would receive a university-level education. The essay's principal point is to show how contemporary technology can make Du Bois' dream a reality. An African philosopher's working model demonstrates a path to universal university education.
