Keywords:
Nexus, Education, Philosophy
Abstract
The work discusses how philosophy contributes in shaping education for the overall benefit of mankind. In this vein, some philosophical theories are argued to have influenced and continue to influence education in various ways. Also, indisputably, philosophy has produced some of the greatest educators that ever lived. As a philosophical investigation, and by way of philosophical analysis, some concepts were clarified. Based on that some recommendations were made such as to be motivated by our worldview and social justice, the encouragement of some virtues that anchor on principles of freedom, equality, hard work etc., while all and sundry on the country should involve in educational management.
