Philosophy of Education is a label applied to the study of the purpose, process, nature and ideals of education. It
can be considered a branch of both philosophy and education. Education can be defined as the teaching and
learning of specific skills, and the imparting of knowledge, judgment and wisdom, and is something broader than
the societal institution of education we often speak of.
Many educationalists consider it a weak and woolly field, too far removed from the practical applications of the
real world to be useful. But philosophers dating back to Plato and the Ancient Greeks have given the area much
thought and emphasis, and there is little doubt that their work has helped shape the practice of education over the
millennia.
Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in "The Republic" (his
most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). In it, he advocates some rather
extreme methods: removing children from their mothers' care and raising them as wards of the state, and
differentiating children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving the most education, so that they could
act as guardians of the city and care for the less able. He believed that education should be holistic, including
facts, skills, physical discipline, music and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence is not distributed
genetically and thus is be found in children born to all classes, although his proposed system of selective public
education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.
Aristotle considered human nature, habit and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education,
the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their
students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates' emphasis
on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and
practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he explicitly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music,
physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered
important.
During the Medieval period, the idea of Perennialism was first formulated by St. Thomas Aquinas in his work
"De Magistro". Perennialism holds that one should teach those things deemed to be of everlasting importance to
all people everywhere, namely principles and reasoning, not just facts (which are apt to change over time), and
that one should teach first about people, not machines or techniques. It was originally religious in nature, and it
was only much later that a theory of secular perennialism developed.
During the Renaissance, the French skeptic Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592) was one of the first to critically
look at education. Unusually for his time, Montaigne was willing to question the conventional wisdom of the
period, calling into question the whole edifice of the educational system, and the implicit assumption that
Answer:
Yes, I think it is wrong to boast or tell untrue stories about yourself in front of people.
Nawab Rangile often tells stories about himself to others which are unlikely to be true. He was just a mere commoner of his village who prided on himself on being a Nawab.
If you develop a habit of bragging, you risk alienating friends and making people pause before approaching you. Learning to share credit, assist others, and set aside competitiveness can help others feel lot more at ease getting to know you and more likely to become your friend. Therefore, one should always be their true self.
