Abstract

According to Robert Brumbaugh, an important theme in Whitehead's writings is that if education is to be realistic, it must rest on a correct notion of reality.  Although Whitehead provided a metaphysical view of reality in terms of process, he left the application of his cosmology to education to other scholars.  Brumbaugh has taken up the challenge and provided us with a fascinating glimpse of what a process philosophy of education would look like.  Such a philosophy of education would cease treating students as stupid particles in an insulating vacuum.  Classroom space would become the place for a creative interplay of ideas.  Learning would follow a three-stage pattern of romance, precision, and generalization.  Students would be taught to see things concretely, to appreciate things in their own right.  Each individual would be treated as having an aesthetic quality of cosmic importance.  We are all at home in the cosmos.  I close with some qualms of moving directly from cosmological principles to classroom practices.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
