Wondering why genius scholars like Aristotle, Karl Max, Max Weber, etc know everything and almost all solutions to the world’s problems, I have come up with “one new concept on education”.
We say we are learning the new things; the things that we have never touched and thought of during the course of life, but this is wrong, what we say we are learning or accepting as the new things are just “the compilation or systematization works” of those we call the pioneers or masterminds.
For instance, we say that we are learning civil law and common law traditions which are the absolutely new courses for us in the university, but indeed, we are not learning the new things as we are thinking; we are just mastering the things that we have touched everyday; unconsciously. Civil law and common law are not new legal systems, because they have been ubiquitously practiced in their founding father lands (France and the United Kingdom), the term “civil and common laws” only that make us feel that we are learning something absolutely new.
Things we accept as new are just the “compilation and systematization works” of their founding fathers. The founding fathers are smart enough to compile every similar thing and make them into one existence or one system, in order to help us easier to learn, to understand or to deeply understand and finally, to facilitate implementation.
To wrap up, all education is not new, because those claim to be the pioneers are just the smart people who can compile and systematize everyday touching phenomenon and name them [the term only is new, but the contains are just our protracted touching phenomenon].
Why do I need to reveal this truth? I want to make life for all of us; students, businesspersons, and whoever easier and deer to aspire higher than this reading moment.
