"Education is not about imparting knowledge but about nurturing the conditions under which learning can flourish and knowledge can develop."

Interesting how deep dissociation is in philosophy. It's central to the Indo-European cultures. By "dissociated" I mean distust of the sense, the emotions & the body. It is a big part of #Indiaphilosophy #yoga & their other traditions & Greco-Roman traditions that are embedded in #Christianity by #Plato & #neoplatonism & continued by #Descartes #philosophy - From #Socrates to #Sartre (1978) https://youtube.com/watch?v=f5_Rhpl5p3Y&si=gWXAaL9ZGJy0hU4w

What do you think?

in my mind the only true expression of wisdom comes in "All I know is that I know nothing."
as coined by #Socrates

Wisdom requires steady questioning and re-evaluation of every single thing - always.
Also a willingness to accept new view points lays in those words.

For me those words are the essence of wisdom, especially when the highest instance back then claimed otherwise - the Oracle of Delphi.
@philosophy ,
just me passing thought.
