Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to suggest specific directions as well as goals and needs of philosophical education of technical high school's students. To do this, this thesis, first, analyzes the present educational condition of technical highschool and argues that philosophical education is necessary to overcome crisis with which the highschool faces. The philosophical education for highschool students, first of all, helps them have sense of respect for themselves and encourages them to establish their subjectivity for themselves by overcoming both their sense of alienation from themselves and of defeat. Because only subjectivity allows us truly to interact with others, establishment of subjectivity is important. And then, it needs to the establishment subjectivity for others in which we throw ourselves into freedom for objects by diverging from the identity with ourselves in order for us to have the sense of solidarity for our community. The conduct of both subjectivity and subjectivity for others simultaneously is like a necessary and sufficient condition in order to transform the sole subjectivity which lies in our closed view of the world into ‘intersubjectivity’ which is able to recognize the importance of living together. Considering philosophy as a science which asks and explores the ground for the given naturally and facilitates the free and critic power of thought which diverges from defined answers to questions, philosophical education is necessary for technical highschool students to establish intersubjectivity. These days, the highschool students lies in the place excluded from scholarship-centered social systems and entrance examination- centered educational circumstances in our society. Most of the students have a sense of defeat instead of respect and confidence for themselves and they have in their mind distorted social views which consider students as being ranked and uniformed according to the records in schools. Accordingly, philosophical education for technical highschool students need to make plans the aim that philosophical education stimulates students to raise a sense of self-respect and to find for themselves the probability of communication and solidarity with others in our society. In this sense, this thesis is to suggest ideas, goals, directions, and a practical model of both teaching and learning for technical highschool students.
