Perennialism refers to ideas that have lasted for centuries and remain relevant today, such as discussed by philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. The philosophy of perennialism in education aims to develop critical thinking skills in students by teaching timeless truths about subjects like metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics through a classical curriculum focused on cultivating wisdom and virtue. However, perennialism faces challenges in modern democratic societies that are increasingly secular and value education tailored to each generation's needs.
