Rafhrakrishna definition of education
Answers
The educational thoughts of Dr. Radhakrishnan are not
merely idealistic but also very much Pragmatic. Dr. Radhakrishnan is an Idealistic philosopher but his
educational thoughts are influenced by the Pragmatic philosophy also. Dr. Radhakrishnan defines
education as the instrument for social, economic and cultural change. For social and national
integration, for increasing productively, education should be properly utilized. He believed that, “The
importance of education is not only in knowledge and skill, but it is to help us to live with others.”
(Bhatia, S. & Sarin, A., 2004, p.239). Dr. Radhakrishnan opined that only the right kind of education
could solve many problems of the society and the country. He wants that education which will help us
to see the other world, the invisible and intangible world beyond space and time. Education has to
give us a second birth, to help us realize what have already in us. The meaning of education is to
emancipate the individual and we need the education of the wholeness- mental, physical, intellectual
and spiritual. Education should develop in the minds of students a love of sustained thinking,
adherence to truth and the power of resistance to popular sentiments and mob passion.
