Philosophy is an important relation with education as it
gives theoretical ground for its development. Principles and values of life
learnt through education and experience gives birth to philosophy. Philosophy
lays the foundation of leading one’s life based on principles. Education is the
source of learning and philosophy it’s applications in human life. While
discussing about the real nature of philosophy in present time, we should have
a single criteria as if it to be acceptable to all reasonable people of the
world. In defining Positive Philosophy it may be said, The Positive Philosophy
is an attempt to achieve an intellectual detachment from all philosophical
systems, and not to solve specific philosophical problems, but to become
sensitively aware of what it is we do when we philosophize. It is an attitude
as well as a methodology for both academician and common person. It make education
process positive so that it can make something useful for societal growth and
in working process it also make the person sensitive about the societal
problems and make them ready to be a
part of social change. I am not negating something, here “positive” word is not
an antonym but it is an adjective. Where there are merely religious,
metaphysical and passive ideologies in our education system, we are not able to
have a good and creative education. Positive Philosophy is working on that
issues which have some worth for human. It is a process to do something
creative. We are using innovative
method. An innovator could be rebellion because he breaks the established
method, norms and redefines the layer of thought. Innovation not simply implies
questioning, reshaping, restricting but also developing through transformation. A teacher can play an important role in
promoting this discussion because a teacher has the capacity to influence
students with their thoughts and personality and engages them to creative
activities. Innovativeness needs to be included in the curriculum. Once one
becomes habitual to this attitude he/she will be ready to do some positive or
creative. In this paper it is an attempt being made to apply positive
philosophy though innovative method in our present education system.
