Synopsis

The book delves deeply into the philosophical foundations of education, exploring various perspectives from both Western and Indian traditions. It begins by elucidating the concept, nature, and scope of philosophy and its indispensable role in shaping educational frameworks. It then delves into the fundamental fields of philosophical enquiry such as metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology, before exploring modern philosophical concepts like logical empiricism and positive relativism. Moving forward, the text critically analyses the educational aspects of prominent Western schools of philosophy including Idealism, Naturalism, Pragmatism, Realism, Existentialism, and Marxism, examining their implications on educational aims, curriculum, and methods. Similarly, it explores the unique characteristics of orthodox and heterodox Indian philosophical schools, evaluating their educational implications and relationship with Indian cultural heritage. Furthermore, it meticulously examines the educational thoughts of renowned Western thinkers like Aristotle, Rousseau, Dewey, Freire, and Illich, along with Indian stalwarts such as Gandhi, Tagore, Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Krishnamurti, and Azad, assessing their contributions to modern education systems. Additionally, the book delves into axiological perspectives, discussing the concept, nature, and hierarchy of values, and addressing value conflicts, ethical considerations in science and technology, traditional Indian values, and those enshrined in the Indian constitution, culminating in a discussion on education for peace and human rights. Overall, this comprehensive text provides a thorough exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of education, offering valuable insights for educators, scholars, and policymakers alike.
