Christian education is for children of all intellectual abilities, including those who have special educational needs.
We define Christian education as an educational process in which God works through His committed teachers, biblical methods, and truthful curriculum materials to build disciples with the biblical world view, character, and skills necessary to fulfill God's calling and live to His glory.

 Philosophy of Education: An Example of Applied Philosophy
One course may restrict itself to studying a single philosophy of education, while another course may be a survey of the various philosophies that have been presented, with an eye to discovering their similarities and differences.
It is true that the philosophy of education called Experimentalism (in both its Progressivist and Reconstructionist varieties) has had a profound influence on the direction of American education for most of the early days of the twentieth century, but its influence has been tempered by the traditional views of Essentialism and Perennialism.
I also hope that the reader takes away a sense of the importance of the study of philosophy of education and, for that matter, the importance of studying all the various branches of applied philosophy.

 German Idealism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Realizing the inadequacy of their philosophy to meet practical needs, they now sought an ethical and religious ideal which should unify the concrete content of spiritual life and at the same time be a necessary deduction from the metaphysical background of existence.
For the philosopher German idealism usually means the philosophy of Kant and his immediate followers, while for the historian of literature it may seem little more than the personality of Goethe; and it is not usual to characterize the literary aspect of the movement as neo-humanism.
In his view the ideal society would be one based on the insight and activity of the educated, and on the rational education of youth, and realizing in its organization the natural and fundamental ethical ideas.

 ClementOfAlexandria.txt
Clement used this side of philosophy to show that all human beings are rational and have within them the "spark of reason" or the "divine spark".[23] Secondly, Stoicism was used to show to pagan converts that Christian morals were actually quite similar to the ethics they had somewhat embraced in their Stoic beliefs.
He showed that both philosophers and Christians believed in the same doctrines, and that the faith was actually for one and all, regardless of their education.
While Greek philosophy was clearly seen as "at least essentially and consistently rational, in the efforts of its earliest representatives to frame a rational interpretation of the cosmos and in connection with every problem to which their successors addressed themselves"[10], Clement considered it critical to go further in regarding the philosophy of his day.

 Ibn Rushd [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Just fifteen years before his birth, the greatest critic of Islamic philosophy, al-Ghazzali (1058-1111), had died after striking a deadly blow to Muslim Neoplatonic philosophy, particularly the work of the great philosopher Ibn Sina (980-1037).
From such bleak circumstances emerged the Spanish-Muslim philosophers, of which the jurist and physician Ibn Rushd came to be regarded as the final and most influential Muslim philosopher, especially to those who inherited the tradition of Muslim philosophy in the West.
The earliest biographers and Muslim chroniclers speak little about his education in science and philosophy, where most interest from Western scholarship in him lies, but note his propensity towards the law and his life as a jurist.

 Islamic political philosophy: Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Averroes
Therefore, according to the ancients, religion is an imitation of philosophy.
In Islamic culture 'philosophy' (in the sense of a continuation Greek philosophy) was somewhat suspect.
Like Al-Farabi, Averroes holds that philosophy and Islam are in harmony, that superior intellects ought to philosophise but not in public, that ordinary people should be taught by means of the Koran and the traditions without trying to turn them into philosophers.

 Is God Unconstitutional, Part 1: Johnson, Phillip
To the extent that the religious folk agree to remain in the sanctuary of private life, and cede control of the public square and especially public education to the modernists, the modernists can afford to leave them alone.
The restriction of religion to private life therefore does not necessarily threaten the vital interests of the majority religion, if there is one, and it protects minority religions from tyranny of the majority.
It becomes tacitly understood as part of human subjectivity, so that the test of a good religious belief is not objective truth, but whether the belief has beneficial effects in the life of the believer.

 Modern Futurism
*participatory* futurism, fortunately, in contrast to the era of Industrial Revolution, is not essentially within the confines of the realm of politics, and different realms of life such as education, health, and mass media have found the utmost attention among the participatory futurists of our times.
Prior to this date, IMO, futurism did not exist as a separate discourse and it was part of the discourse of progress in the Western philosophy.
Thus, IMO, the existence of a Utopia in visionary futurism does not mean a school of thought is completely partial to the first tendency of visionary futurism.
