Sophistry as a way of implementing philosophical practice in education (Interactive TED style presentation)
Presentation language: Russian
The
author has set the task of reconstructing the process of learning that the
sophists have used. The author proves the thesis of the relevance of the
integration of the pedagogical elements of sophistry in modern educational
practice. To confirm this thesis, a comparison is made of the results of
solving the problem posed by the author with the situation of modern classical
education. The process sophist pedagogy consists in forcing the student to
speak in order to provoke the thought process. Thus, the process of
understanding is not an understanding of the true meaning of things, but the
process of inventing this meaning. The goal of sophist pedagogy is the ability
to navigate in a specific situation. As a result of sophist pedagogy the
following is achieved: 1) personal development, and not knowledge transfer; 2)
going beyond the limits of knowledge, thinking; 3) the prevalence of the
creative aspect of thinking. As a result, the sophist pedagogy of implementing
philosophical practice in education is extremely relevant within the framework
of a creatively critical approach in pedagogy.
