Concept information
Preferred term
phenomenology, existentialism, and education
Definition
- Phenomenology and existentialism are philosophic traditions offering unique, albeit abstruse conceptions of reality and “the self.” Both philosophies proffer individualistic perspectives of reality, inquiry, and interpretation that, when interpreted and understood, enable educators, curriculum writers, and policy makers to make sense of the world from an individual point of view. Existentialists believe in autonomous consciousness—because meaning originates from me, I become responsible for the reality of the world.
