EDUCATION AND THE IMAGE OF THE HUMAN BEING

A. A. Kokovkina
Keywords: education, philosophical grounds, substantialism, rationalism, utilitarianism, apophatics, transcendence
Pages: 169-173

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the philosophical grounds of education. The classical tradition is connected with a rationalistic, substantialistic view of the human being. It sets a certain image of the human being but does not allow a possibility to substantiate his/her freedom. Such possibility is realized in the apophatic concept of the human being as essentially indefinable and non-cognizable.
