Abstract

Thomas de Conanque is a contemporary Canadian philosopher who has published many books and treatises and has done a lot of research in the field of philosophy. What is important for De Koninck is to preserve human dignity in any field and any position. According to him, it is important, above all else, is the preservation of human value in every field, from medicine, economics, and politics to education. Many other philosophers and writers such as Aristotle, Plato, Hegel, Saint-Exupéry and Shakespeare are among the guides of De Koninck in the formation and dissemination of his philosophical ideas. He also conducts research in understanding the philosophy of education, especially about children and adolescents. What this philosopher shows us is that the philosophy of education is not only related to the present and the 21st century, but since the ancient Greek, there has been thought and investigation in this matter and it has been necessary; But it should not be forgotten that it has always been changing and the surrounding environment has challenged it many times. Multiple phenomenes are involved in the philosophy of education. From human body and biology to his soul and emotions. Also, there are various tools to teach science as best as possible, such as music or literature. In this research, an attempt is made to understand the ideas of this contemporary philosopher about the philosophy of education, to find out how to provide a deeper, more stable and more useful education.
