Keywords:
truth, reality, possibility, justice, metaphysics, soul, educator, teacher, freedom, falsehood, experience, humanity, culture, education, temporality, interconnectedness, spirit, shame, reason, desire, transcendenceAbstract
The text focuses on the interconnectedness of the hidden and the manifest, the possible and the actual, the passive and the active, and also the given and the transcendent. Plato’s image of the soul as a charioteer with two horses is analyzed in the context of the role of shame in human development and education. All articles of the first issue of the fifth volume published in the journal Theology and Philosophy of Education are presented.
