Aristotle (384-322BC), a Greek philosopher is famous for his
belief that the study of matter would lead to a better understanding of ideas.
He and his students provided much work for the later ideas from Mendel, and
Darwin. His philosophy of realism
states that reality is observable events, objects, and matter independent of
human knowing. Aristotle believed that truth was founded from investigation the
real world around you. “Realism suggests that the objects we sense or perceive
exist independently of the mind. In other words, whether or not we perceive
these objects, they exist in the world.” He also believed that humans learn
through their senses. My question is how can people relate this philosophy to education?
When related to education, realists believe that the purpose of education is to
teach students about the world in which they live. People learn through
happiness, and Aristotle believes that happiness is the ultimate goal in a
human’s life.
