An Outline of Educational Philosophy: Indian Perspective offers a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of Indian educational thought through its deep-rooted philosophical traditions and institutional practices. This work examines how major Indian philosophical traditions such as Vedanta, Samkhya, Buddhism, Jainism and Nyaya profoundly influenced educational aims, content, methods and values. The book highlights the philosophical rootedness and role of diverse educational institutions like the Gurukulams, Universities like Takshashila and Nalanda and Madrasas and Khanqahs during the ancient and medieval periods; they all integrated religious, vocational and rational sciences. Bringing together the insights of multiple schools — Vedanta, Buddhism, Jainism, Nyaya, Bhakti and Sufism — the book offers a unique perspective on the plurality of Indian educational philosophy.
This volume is an essential resource for students of B.Ed, M.Ed, M.A. Education and ITEP (B.A. B.Ed./B.Sc. B.Ed.) and Ph.D. to appreciate how pedagogy in India has long been a confluence of moral, metaphysical and social dimensions. It is equally useful for philosophers, educators, scholars, researchers and all those general book lovers who are interested in the philosophical underpinnings of Indian education.
