Principles of Education from the View Point of Imam Ali (P.B.U.H)

Abstract

One of the problems that is nowadays causing many people to refer to religious sources for receiving educational guidance is the irrational and unrealistic expectations of these sources. More clearly, today the multiplicity of jobs and the staggering diversity in human life has surrounded him so much that his approach to life has not only sought a worldview, but also in the context of the world, from quality to quantity and quantity. The character and personality in the field of education has gone out of proportion and the figures have declined. In such a situation, any inclination to adopt a value-conscious view in the context of education also tends to conform to the prevailing conditions of human life. Sheer detail and pure methodology, which seeks to achieve concrete and tangible results, have blocked the way to any gradual tolerance and acceptance, both in the realm of personality and inner self. This view is so dominated by aspects of life that it even interprets education in a very quantitative framework, in the form of processes with specific and operational data.
