Abstract:
|
The aim of this paper is to explain Aristotle’s views on education with specific
reference to Intellectual and Character education. Aristotle asserts that the
theory and practice of education in general must undoubtedly be build upon
a solid foundation of a philosophy of life especially in the fields of ethics and
politics. His original works of Nicomachean Ethics, Politics and Metaphysics
were also consulted in this regard. The educational implications of his
teachings on actuality, potentiality, causality and character formation are also
discussed. Though Aristotle had the background of Athenian education in
mind, yet his philosophical thoughts is of universal significance and are not
restricted to any time or place. |
