Abstract

Education involves initiation into forms of thought which conceptually must be developed. Wilson suggests an overlap between part of the area we call lack of mental health and part of the area we might call lack of education. Philosophy of Education plays one of the vital roles in personal development and acquiring new skills and knowledge. Philosophy is multi-connected with Education and transmission of knowledge. Awareness has been one of the basic components stressed by most Philosophical theories used by different terms. Therefore, the concept of awareness is present in most Philosophical theories and therapy approached by different methods. In the present paper we are going to present the similarities and comparisons between the Eastern concept of Mindfulness and Consciousness and relevant Eastern conceptualizations of Philosophy.
