Philosophy of Education

Introduction Philosophy runs even in the veins of a layperson who seeks after wisdom, truth, ideals, and reality. Without philosophy (such as of education) or of any sorts, life is just a void. It will simply make people’s existence adrift with the world.

Without philosophy, people would just be like any other animate objects (e.g., animals) who cannot reason out why they do things the way they should. They ...

The Matrix trilogy suggested that just about all of us were plugged into an artificial system of interaction that a shadowy Architect had put together, as a nefarious substitute for genuine existence. The Adjustment Bureau featured a series of agents of Fate who run around with Moleskine notebooks that automatically update as people move forward in time, trying to keep the Master Plan intact. We enjoy stories like these, in part because we wonder whether ...

Music and poetry have existed alongside each other for many years. The question of whether poetry is improved by music is an interesting one. People who do not enjoy traditional poetry often find that they have a passion for music with lyrics.
