Discussion
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labeled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Philosophy helps in determining aims of education.
Reason (R) : Education depends mostly on Philosophy.
In the context of the two statements, which one of the following is correct ?
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are true. Philosophy determines the aims of education because it asks what the good life, the good person and the good society are, and the aims of schooling are drawn from these answers. The reason is also accepted: education draws on philosophy for its aims, curriculum and method, so it depends heavily on it.
Options B, C and D each call one statement false, which the standard view of education as applied philosophy does not support. The key is the first option, which says both are true.
