SHORT ESSAY:
Choose one of the options below. Respond in a brief essay of one or two
paragraphs (8 points).
OPTION 1:
Describe key philosophic beliefs of ancient Athens and compare them to current philosophic trends.
OPTION 2:
Which components of Augustine’s beliefs are most critical to his philosophy of education? To what extent do you agree or disagree with Augustine’s philosophy of education? Answer in a brief essay of one or two paragraphs.
OPTION 3:
Explain Aquinas’ theory of knowledge acquisition (i.e., epistemology) and the extent to which you agree or disagree with it. Answer in a brief essay of one or two paragraphs.
Your Answer:
Augustine's educational philosophy is based on divine grace, moral growth, and pursuing God's love. He promotes education based on faith and heavenly guidance, highlighting the importance of divine grace for genuine understanding. Augustine strongly focused on developing moral character through education, emphasizing the spiritual aspects of learning. He also believed that knowledge should bring people closer to God and one another. He may not completely address education's practical and secular components due to his great dependence on divine grace and theological endeavors as essential parts.
While Augustine's theory emphasizes the value of fusing faith and learning, I believe it may be too restrictive in today's diverse and secular educational environments. Relying too much on divine grace as a condition for learning could prevent education from being inclusive and exclude those with different religious beliefs. His preference for religious topics over practical knowledge could also cause him to overlook crucial abilities required for individual and societal development. In the present era, a more balanced approach that values many information sources and considers education's spiritual and practical sides could offer a more complete framework for directing people's
growth.
