Philosophical Awareness in the Sense of Education and Science
Abstract
Philosophy, which is a must of all ways of thinking, is not only mentality and awareness matter but also a fundament where education and science can be built on. Philosophy sense which is to be put forward in this sense determines education and science as it is supplemental and determinant. History of philosophy is full of examples to prove this idea.
Philosophy which is determined in the light of meaning around the culture that dates back to social and historical facts is an effort to embrace the universal. In this sense questions that bear qualification of philosophy should be put forward. This is bound to person’s curiosity, doubt, courage and ability to ask questions. Thinking is a troublesome work and philosophy is the work of a person who thinks upon this problem. But the act of asking questions should be supplied of local resources as philosophy cannot be developed independently from the cultural environment. In this sense, a person with noteworthy questions will have a noteworthy philosophy.
Convenience that mass media and technology offers pulls apart people from thinking of a problem. In the world where nearly everything is offered ready, thinking has become questioned. In today’s world where it is becoming hard to produce unique and free thinking, thinking has been evaluated as accepting and imitating the offered. Modern people abstain from thinking by using statements like ‘you decide’, ‘as you say’, ‘I agree’ and they lead their daily lives. How can a society that is formed with those individuals introduce a philosophy and thinking? In this sense, the work and importance of philosophy which can be the fundament of education and science is getting harder.
