4. The role of philosophy in education is to
provide the student the ability to synthesize,
criticize, assimilate and evaluate a variety
and huge mass of knowledge. It is aimed to
make a well-developed man-cultured refined
and well rounded. It is an important part of
the student’s total development that will
provide opportunities for him to lead a life
worthy of man’s dignity as an individual and
as a member of society.

5. Philosophy developed from the concept which
recognized man’s essential worth as a member of society
J.A. Nicholson brought into being on a firm place the
importance of philosophy in the life of a person and of
society when eloquently stated:
“There is no other knowledge that so widens our
intellectual horizon and that deepens thereby both our
understanding and our sympathies. It breaks up that
“intellectual crust” of which Wordsworth speaks the “yoke
of conversational custom” that thinking tends fatally to
impose upon self , and by setting thought free, it permits
that full functioning of the life of the spirit that alone
constitute the good life.”
Socrates, an eminent Athenian philosopher said, “The
unexamined life is not worth living.”

young places him in with
phases of reality which are
considered in making
philosophical judgements.
 While philosophy is a guide
to educational practice,
education as a field of
investigation yields certain
data as a basis for
philosophical judgements.
 Philosophy yields a
comprehensive
understanding of
reality, a world view,
touch which applied to
educational practices
lends direction and
methodology which are
likely to be lacking
otherwise.
