This document provides an overview of existentialism and its key concepts as they relate to education. It discusses existentialist views on ontology (what is real), epistemology (what is true), and ethics (what is good). Some of the major existentialist philosophers discussed include Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Jaspers, Sartre, and Beauvoir. Existentialism emphasizes that individuals are solely responsible for defining their own existence through free will and choice. It rejects the idea that essence precedes existence or that there are universal truths. The document explores how these existentialist ideas influence perspectives on teaching, learning, curriculum, and critique within education.
The philosophy of existentialism brought man, his existence, his emotions and his subjectivity into forefront, they were forerunners of individualism and uniqueness of each man. The views of various exponents of existentialism and the themes they brought out makes their philosophy better understood. The philosophy of education of existentialism speaks about aims, curriculum, the role of the teacher, methods of learning, learning experiences and religious and moral education.

idealism is the group of metaphysical philosophies that assert that reality, or reality as humans can know it, is fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial. Epistemologically, idealism manifests as a skepticism about the possibility of knowing any mind-independent thing
This is a work that I made in 10th grade about Kant and his theory. Portuguese version available. I hope you like it and share it.
P.S.: In the biography, instead of actually saying it, we did a little role playing of an interview to the philosopher in which on member is the interviewer and the other is Kant. While we were doing the interview the following songs were playing:
- U Can't Touch This
- Just give me a Reason (for the more emotional part)
When it's done well, it has a great impact in the class room. The script is at the end of the presentation.
Hope you like it and please share.

John Dewey’s “Educational Progressivism”
Objectives:
Who was John Dewey?
What does Educational Progressivism means?
What is the purpose of education?
John Dewey
(0ctober 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952)
American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer
Founder of philosophical school of Pragmatism
Father of Functional Psychology
Educational Progressivism
Educational Progressivism
The main principle of educational progressivism is that humans are social animals who learn best in real-time activities.
Instructors should focus on providing students with the necessary skills and knowledge to survive and to succeed in our competitive society.
Strong emphasis on problem-based learning to develop problem solving and analysis skills (For example, instructor posing questions the exercise students’ minds in a practical manner)
The purpose of education is to enhance individual effectiveness in society and give learners’ practical knowledge and problem-solving skills.
Based on John Dewey's model of learning instructors should:
Become aware of the goal,
Define the objectives,
Propose hypotheses to achieve the goal,
Evaluate the consequences of the hypotheses from one's past experience, and
Test the most likely solution

AMPQ - Thinking the event, thinking change - A new theory of change for psych...Université de Montréal
Event refers to an occurrence or experience in the lifeworld of human beings which is an exception or rupture that opens new horizons in life. It derives from Being and Event, the key work of philosopher Alain Badiou which updates and replaces subjective phenomenology, the dominant philosophy of the 20th century that was introduced into psychiatry a century ago through the seminal work of Karl Jaspers. Phenomenological psychiatry became the exemplary model for clinical psychiatry for much of the last century, with many elaborations and refinements by figures as diverse as Eugène Minkowski, Ludwig Binswanger and Ronald Laing.
Badiou’s evental thought outlines a new objective phenomenology for philosophy and the human sciences, including psychiatry. Ever since its foundation by Edmund Husserl, phenomenology has had pioneering psychiatrists apply its philosophy to clinical practice. Husserl inspired Jaspers’ phenomenological psychiatry, while his successor Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time inspired Binswanger’s existential analysis. Sartre’s reading of Heidegger in Being and Nothingness inspired the social phenomenology of Ronald Laing. Our generation now has the inspiration of Badiou’s objective phenomenology in Being and Event to revision psychiatry today. The author recently conducted philosophical investigations supervised by Badiou for his doctoral dissertation entitled Trauma and Event which re-examined trauma by contrasting it to the Event. Working closely with Badiou, the author proposes that the pivotal notion of the Event offers psychiatry and all forms of psychotherapy (from psychoanalysis to family therapy to cognitive therapy) a theory of change (evental being), a new definition of the subject (evental self), and therapeutic practices (evental therapy) that flow from that. Badiou affirms that the author’s proposal for an evental psychiatry opens a broad new horizon for philosophy and for psychiatry.
The presentation will outline three possible model Events for psychiatry and for psychotherapy with clinical illustrations. As well as describing the phenomena of psychiatry in a new, objective way and offering a new theory of change, evental psychiatry also accounts for a new definition of the subject of psychiatry and psychotherapy, the evental self. The self that emerges from the Event will be outlined and linked to contemporary issues in clinical psychiatry.
Leadership in 21st Century Learning: A Call to LibrariesLori Reed
Opening keynote for the 78th Annual Quebec Library Association Conference: Libraries as Learning Places.
This presentation covers how libraries must pave the way as leaders in learning and information literacy. Why libraries play a crucial role in education. How to become a champion of 21st century learning and information literacy.
Who are we? If we are not a thing, what are we? Who is talking when I say “I”.
Is there any present-day approach to the self which takes into account the naturalistic claim without losing the self, its existence and its durability?
Is there any contemporary account of the self which let us defend the narrative and cultural production of the self without converting the self into a fake, into something strictly decided by others either culturally or evolutionarily.
A response to these challenges can be found by mixing a phenomenological and an hermeneutical approach.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. Existentialism
Existentialism, broadly defined, is a set of
philosophical systems concerned with free
will, choice, and personal responsibility.
It is also an act of philosophizing; a
sensibility.
5. General Concepts
• Mankind has free will.
• Life is a series of choices, creating stress.
• Few decisions are without any negative
consequences.
• Some things are irrational or absurd, without
explanation.
• If one makes a decision, he or she must
follow through.
- The Existentialist Primer
7. THE EXISTENTIALISTS
Søren Kierkegaard Karl Jaspers
Friedrich Nietzsche Martin Heidegger
Albert Camus Jean-Paul Sartre
Simone de Beauvoir Gabriel Marcel
8. Søren Kierkegaard
(1813-1855)
“Faith is the highest
passion in a human
being. Many in every
generation may not
come that far, but none
comes further.”
9. Søren Kierkegaard
Danish religious philosopher. A
precursor of modern existentialism,
he insisted on the need for individual
decision and leaps of faith in the
search for religious truth.
10. Friedrich Nietzsche
(1844-1900)
“I know my fate.
One day there will be
associated with my
name the recollection
of something frightful
…I am not a man, I
am dynamite.”
11. Friedrich Nietzsche
German philosopher who refused to
belong to any school of thought,
renounced the adequacy of any body
of beliefs.
He opposed philosophic systems,
and was dissatisfied with traditional
philosophy as superficial, academic,
and remote from life.
12. Karl Jaspers
(1883-1969)
“Experience is not
adequate per se, for it
becomes significant only
by virtue of him who
possesses it.”
13. Karl Jaspers
German psychiatrist, philosopher, and
theologian. He encouraged active
“philosophizing”.
He merged the basic ideas of Kierkegaard
and Nietzsche. This grew into modern
existentialism or, as he prefers to say,
Existenzphilosophie.
14. Jean-Paul Sartre
(1905-1980)
“We mean that man
first of all exists,
encounters himself,
surges up in the world-
and defines himself
afterwards.”
15. Jean-Paul Sartre
French philosopher, playwright, novelist
and the leading exponent existentialism.
His writings examine man as a
responsible but lonely being, burdened with
a terrifying freedom to choose, and set adrift
in a meaningless universe.
He coined the term “existentialism”.
22. The thing is to find
a truth that is true
for me…
- Søren Kierkegaard
23. Assumes that the individual is
responsible for his own knowledge… It
originates in, and is composed of, what
exists in the individual’s consciousness
and feelings as a result of his
experiences and the projects he adopts
in the course of his life.
- Kneller, p. 59
24. Experiences result to
Projects

28. The highest morality is a recognition
of freedom; the lowest morality is the
subjection of individual consciousness
to standards or principles which have
been preordained.
- Karl Jaspers as quoted by Kneller, p. 65
29. I am therefore ultimately responsible
for my own choices. The individual is
the author of his own good. He can
make himself accountable to no other
moral force or factor.
- Morris, p. 277
30. What is good? -- All that
heightens the feeling of power,
the will to power, power itself in
man.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
33. I am that which must
overcome itself again
and again.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
34. Human Development
Pre-existential Period
- prior to puberty, elementary period
- not yet conscious of personal identity
Existential Moment
- awareness of presence in the world
- insight into his own consciousness and
responsibilities
- Van Cleve Morris in Gutek, p.118
35. Existential Moment
Realizations
- life is a series of choices
- our choices will define us
- we are only accountable to ourselves
- we are responsible for the choices we make
- we choose for all
- that death is the inevitable conclusion for
existing (called angst or anxiety)
36. Being
A self-aware and self-choosing individual.
realization that he freedom to decide
exist, and he is who and what he
conscious of this is; the ultimate
fact; the “is-ness” power of choice
