The Nature of Comparative Research in Philosophy of Education: Faaraabee's Method
M.H. Mirzaamohammadi, Ph.D.
Abstract:   (6488 Views)

Comparative research, from a philosophical perspective in education, goes beyond the mere comparison of two ideas or subjects, and necessitates both judgment and critical analysis. Considering the complexities of the educational processes, doing comparative research in educational philosophy requires certain skills and conditions to be met. Faaraabee, as the vanguard of the comparative philosophy in Islamic education, demonstrates such skills, whether in comparing the ideas of giants such as Plato and Aristotle, or the comparison of two independent subjects like philosophy and religion. Therefore, his method can serve as a model for doing comparative studies in educational philosophy.

Keywords: comparative research, educational philosophy, epistemology, methodology, Faaraabee
