B. Modern Philosophies
Modern Philosophies in Education began to take shape in the 1960s, establishing themselves
as a distinct subfield of philosophy (Freire 1970).

1. Perennialism
- Emphasizes the teaching of ideas and truths that have stood the test of time, focusing on what
is universally relevant across generations (Hutchins, 1952).
- Employs the Socratic method, which involves dialogue and questioning to stimulate critical
thinking and deeper understanding among students.

2. Progressivism
- Emphasizes the importance of the child's interests, experiences, and needs in the learning
process.
- Dewey viewed the school as a miniature democratic society in which students could learn and
practice the skills and tools necessary for democratic living.

3. Humanism
- Its primary assumption is that humans have free will, have the ability and desire to self-
actualize, and that the subjective reality of each individual is valuable.
- Emphasizes the development of the whole person—intellectually, emotionally, socially, and
ethically—rather than just academic achievement (Maslow, 1970).

C. Post-modern Philosophies
Post-modern philosophies began to emerge in the mid to late 20th century, particularly from the
1960s onward. This period was characterized by a reaction against the principles of modernism
(Lyotard, 1979).

1. Critical Theory
- Emerged from the Frankfurt School in the early 20th century, this philosophy emphasizes the
important role of education in fostering critical social consciousness.
- Critical theorists argue that education is never neutral; it is always influenced by cultural,
political, and ideological factors.

2. Post-structuralism
- Values diverse perspectives and experiences, recognizing that individuals interpret and
understand the world differently based on their identities and contexts.
- Language is central to post-structuralist thought; it shapes our understanding of subjects and
influences the construction of knowledge (Peters, 2004).

3. Feminist Pedagogy
- Values the perspectives of marginalized groups and aims to incorporate feminist literature,
critical race theory, and other frameworks that highlight these experiences.
- Seeks to disrupt traditional hierarchies in the classroom, where the teacher is seen as the sole
authority. Instead, it promotes a more egalitarian approach.
