    The Significance, Nature, and Role of Philosophy of Education


    A. NATURE OF PHILOSOPHY
    INTRODUCTION
     Philosophy is a search for a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative
    rather than observational means.
     It signifies a natural and necessary urge in human beings to know themselves and the world in
    which they live and move and have their being.
     Western philosophy remained more or less true to the etymological meaning of philosophy in
    being essentially an intellectual quest for truth.
     Hindu philosophy is intensely spiritual and has always emphasized the need for practical
    realization of Truth.
     Philosophy is a comprehensive system of ideas about human nature and the nature of the reality
    we live in.
     It is a guide for living, because the issues it addresses are basic and pervasive, determining the
    course we take in life and how we treat other people.
     Hence we can say that all the aspects of human life are influenced and governed by the
    philosophical consideration.
     As a field of study philosophy is one of the oldest disciplines. It is considered as a mother of all
    the sciences. In fact it is at the root of all knowledge. Education has also drawn its material from
    different philosophical bases.
     Education, like philosophy is also closely related to human life.
     Therefore, being an important life activity education is also greatly influenced by philosophy.
     Various fields of philosophy like the political philosophy, social philosophy and economic
    philosophy have great influence on the various aspects of education like educational procedures,
    processes, policies, planning and its implementation, from both the theoretical and practical
    aspects.

    B. MEANING OF PHILOSOPHY & EDUCATION


    Meaning of Philosophy
     The word philosophy literally means love of wisdom; It is derived from two Greek words i.e.
    'phileo' (love) and 'Sophia' (wisdom).
     Is sometimes considered as a group of theories or system of thoughts by which it sought to
    understand the world, its meaning and its values.
     The subject of philosophical inquiry is the reality itself.
     It is the search for understanding of man, nature and the universe.
    Meaning of Education
     Etymologically, the word education is derived from educare (Latin) "bring up", which is related
    to educere "bring out", "bring forth what is within", "bring out potential" and ducere, "to lead".
     Education in the largest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind,
    character or physical ability of an individual.
     In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its
    accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another.
     Webster defines education as the process of educating or teaching (now that's really useful, isn't
    it?) Educate is further defined as "to develop the knowledge, skill, or character of..."
     In ancient Greece, Socrates argued that education was about drawing out what was already within
    the student.
     In the modern times it has acquired two different shades of meaning namely:
    (1) an institutional instruction, given to students in school colleges formally ;and
    (2) a pedagogical science, studied by the student of education.
     The words of Adam education is the dynamic side of philosophy.
