 A complete philosophy includes a
world view, a doctrine of values,
meanings and purpose of human life.
(J.A. Leighton)
 THE PLACE OF
PHILOSOPHY IN
EDUCATION
Philosophy of Education in the Philippine Setting
 DEFINITION OF TERMS:
Philosophy
Reality
Ultimate Truth
Immediate Truth
Education
Philosophy of Education
 PHILOSOPHY
comes from the Greek word philo and sophio,
which together means love and 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.
 PHILOSOPHY
It is the endeavor to achieve comprehensive
view of life and its meaning, upon the basis of
the results of various sciences. E. S. Amos
Unusually stubborn attempt to think clearly.
Sound philosophy must take into accounts

Philosophy

Individual Society
 SOCIETY
Consideration of society must include that
societys conception of good life, its mores, and
its folkways.
 INDIVIDUAL
A conception of individual must take into
accounts his being biological organism and a
national and passionate creature.
Both Society and Individual are
results of interaction.
 PHILOSOPHY
A systemic study of life universe as a
whole in order to frame a logical and
necessary system of general idea so that
every element of human experience may
be interpreted.
 PHILOSOPHY
It is divided according to speculative and critical
concerns of man.
Metaphysics questions the ultimate nature of reality.
(speculative realm of philosophy)
Epistemology concerned with the source
Critical Philosophy - nature of knowledge and truth
 REALITY
Reality is the state of things as they actually exist,
rather than as they may appear or might be imagined.
Reality includes everything that is and has been,
whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A
still broader definition includes that which has existed,
exists, or will exist.
 ULTIMATE TRUTH
The ultimate Truth can be realized only through meditation, and
not theorizing or speculating.
The ultimate truth in Buddhism is how things really are.
They are ever-changing and dependent on circumstances.
The ultimate truth (in science) is that an observer sees particular
visual effects, dependent on the position of the moon and the
Earth, and dependent on the observer's position on the Earth.
All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not
last forever. If going wrong, dont worry, they cant last long either.
 ULTIMATE TRUTH
Ultimate truth (paramrtha-satya)and that the reality of all the objects of
knowledge, the text says, is exhaustively comprised of the two truths (Sde Dge,
dkon brtsegs nga, 60b).
Ultimate truths of Buddhism are different from the conventional truths of
everyday life. This can be confusing for the thoughtful person. For instance, they
might think, if there is no self theory in Buddhism, how come I write referring to
myself and to others? One reason is that writing which does not refer to the self
is difficult to understand.
 IMMEDIATE TRUTH
Knowledge of the immediate premises is independent of
demonstration. (The necessity of this is obvious; for since we
must know the prior premises from which the demonstration
is drawn, and since the regress must end in immediate truths,
those truths must be indemonstrable.) Such, then, is our
doctrine, and in addition we maintain that besides scientific
knowledge there is its originative source which enables us to
recognize the definitions.
 IMMEDIATE TRUTH
Immediately implies the statement, It is objectively true that
nothing anyone ever says is objectively true.
To be acquainted with something is to be directly and
immediately aware of it, without the action of an
intermediary.
 IMMEDIATE TRUTH
Russell defines immediate knowledge of truths as intuitive
truths. These are concepts that, to Russell, are so clearly self-
evident that we just know they must be true. 1 + 1 = 2 is an
example of such a self-evident truth. Derivative knowledge
of truths involves deduction and inference from immediate,
self-evident truths.
 EDUCATION
Education is a continuous process of experiencing
and of revising or reorganizing experiences. Dr.
John Dewey
Education is a cultural process by which successive
generations of men take their places in history.
 EDUCATION
Education is the sum of all equities acquired through
individual maturation and social training. Webster
The aggregate of all processes by which person
develops ability, attitudes, and other forms of behavior
of practical values, in the society in which he lives in.
 PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
Serves as the Alpha Omega or the beginning
and the end of teaching and learning.
 PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
Considered with what ought to be in educational
practice.
Suggests the necessity for all educational disciplines
to follow direction and philosophy to be effective and
meaningful
A systematic thought to apply finding of philophy to
the ultimate questions of education.
 PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
Gives direction and points of destination to the
teachers, administrators, and supervisors in
formulation their educational aims and objectives to
be achieved, in selecting and organizing subject
matters to be taught, in selecting methods of
teaching and techniques to be used and evaluate the
results of teaching and learning.
