The Impact of the Greek Philosophers on Modern Education

Your artical is informative. Philosophy until recently had a central place in higher education. But now we hardly find any philosophy undergraduates. I took a few courses in mathematical logic and applied ethics, and was amazed by the sophistication of the subject. Studying philosopy is a great exercise in meta-theoratic thinking and argument. To me, that is true education. If you are not continously characterizing what you are learning, then there is no difference between a chimp and you.

Epistemology was a subject that also facinated people in India. Way before the Greeks I guess. Here is how you learn the Indian way; close your eyes, breath deeply, and think.

I read philosophy texts all the time for my work; yours is exceptional. It is not easy to write about philosophy clearly. Even the great philosophers fail at it. For example, Kant.

Congradulations.

Mohtarma Zainab Siddique Sahiba,

I am confused. Where is the thesis statement?

This essay could benefit much from the development of a central idea.

The link or the transition between ancient Greek philosophers and the modern educational systems is not clearly evident.

I do get where you are trying to get, but further development of ideas; a more unified introduction coupled with a thesis statement would help your case quite a bit.
I am quite sure that in your mind this essay makes perfect sense and flows well, but do think of the readers. Pretend as if we know nothing, and then tell us. Be Descriptive.

I dont mean to be negatively critical, rather am offering positive constructive criticism. I hope you will take it as such and use it in your future writing endeavors.

Peace

``Learning by doing `` is much better way of imparting knowledge.I can still recall those long lecture hours of my college days when whole class was sleeping except two or three nerds.

Wow, 3 out of the 4 links for webpages you gave are broken, some biblio you got there.
