Philosophy of Education in the AI Era: Rethinking Knowledge, Teaching, and Human Purpose

  • Abstract:
  • The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational systems has prompted profound philosophical questions about the nature of knowledge, learning, teaching, and human development. Traditional philosophies of education such as idealism, realism, pragmatism, and constructivism were developed in contexts where human cognition and instruction were central and irreplaceable. In the AI era, however, intelligent systems increasingly perform tasks once reserved for teachers and learners, including content delivery, assessment, feedback, and decision-making. This article examines how AI challenge’s classical educational philosophy and argues for a renewed human-centered philosophy of education that emphasizes ethical reasoning, critical thinking, creativity, and moral responsibility. Rather than replacing educational philosophy, AI necessitates its re-examination and reinforcement.
