As the author of Philosophical & Sociological Perspectives of Education – I, I am delighted to present this work to student teachers, educators, and all those passionate about understanding the profound interplay between philosophy, sociology, and education. This book is crafted with the intent to serve as a comprehensive guide for exploring the foundational principles that shape educational thought and practice. It is designed to provoke reflection, inspire dialogue, and foster a deeper appreciation of the philosophical and sociological dimensions that inform the educational process. The journey of writing this book stems from a recognition of the critical need to bridge ancient wisdom with contemporary educational practices. By delving into Indian and Western philosophical traditions, alongside the visionary contributions of great educational thinkers, this work aims to equip prospective teachers with the intellectual tools to navigate the complexities of modern education. The inclusion of sociological perspectives further enriches this exploration, emphasizing the role of values, culture, and society in shaping educational aims and practices. This book is not merely an academic exercise but an invitation to engage with timeless questions about the nature of knowledge, human existence, and societal aspirations. It is my hope that readers will find in these pages both inspiration and practical insights to enrich their educational practice and contribute meaningfully to the evolution of education in the 21st century.
