On Dialectical Education
The dialectical nature of human experience should be represented best in educational regimes and systems: accomplishing learning starts with abolishing what we, as educators, perceive learning to be. Learning is the unlearning, in Hegelian terms, that is: learning takes place where we start to reject our already perceived notions about learning. The ever-changing state of Human condition is key in this pre-text. With the advancement of technology and neuroscience, we have started to realize that whatever we know best about learning, might not be right, and even if it was right, might not be constant as our cognitive behavior changes every generation.
In short, the following statement, comprised inspiring quotes from Christopher Hitchens and Lawrence Krauss, can to an extent summarise my current disposition on Education: The purpose of education in the following is to make everyone uncomfortable: that is to realise that we know only a little and understand so little of the world! If we are comfortable, we are not pushing our learning boundaries, hence achieving maximal potential!
