The meaning of the pronoun (updated)

0 05002br
02br
00It was my awful mistake to put wrong word in the next paragraph before I post question on EnglishForum.02br
02br
00(In the paragraph, I put 'deception' in the place of 'conception.' Sorry about that.02br
02br
00But 'Doll' gave me precious answer - I put his answer after question paragraph.02br
02br
00Thanks, Doll.02br
02br
00But I still have one more question.02br
02br
00Doll said 01u00"③it02u00" is "01u00the conception02u00."02br
02br
00How about 'education'? 01u00It seems to be education02u00 to me.02br
02br
00How about you?02br
02br
00Thanks. 02br
02br
02br
00I want to ask you the meaning of two relative pronouns in the following paragraph. 02br
02br
00Please have a patience in reading the next paragraph. 02br
02br
02br
00Education is necessarily concerned with ends and purposes 01u00①which02u00 vary from age to age and from one community to another. The conception of the function of education is dependent upon the nature of the society in ②01u00which02u00 ③01u00it02u00 plays 01u00it02u00s part and is determined by the philosophy, implicit or explicit, which governs relations between the individual and the community. There is thus no "theory of education" which may be regarded as carrying absolute authority. So far as education is a matter of action as well as thought, each community is faced with the problem of interpreting those values in relation to the "here and now" of political, economic, and social life. 02br
02br
02br
02br
02br
00My question is: 02br
02br
02br
00What "①which" stands for? Between "Education" and "ends and purposes," which one? 02br
02br
02br
00What "②which" stands for? Between "the nature" and "the society," which one? 02br
02br
02br
01u00The following is the reply from Doll02u00.02br
02br
02br
00Look, first 01u00which02u00 stands for 01u00ends or purposes02u00.02br
02br
00If it stood for education after which we would say varies because education is singular. 02br
02br
02br
00The conception of the function of education is dependent upon the nature of the society in 01u00which02u00 (this may give you a clue in 01u00society02u00) 01u00it02u00 (01u00the conception02u00 of the function of education) plays its (here one more clue for you. This it can't represent society right? It is related with the preceding it) part and is determined by the philosophy, implicit or ...0510name[문서의 처음]
