Philosopy of Education According to ontologies

Philosophies of Education according to Ontologies

Ontological philosophy takes ontology to be a kind of explanation in which the causes are basic substances, and the effects are found in the world. Given the existence of certain kinds of basic substances and basic relationships, it explains the things found in the world by showing how their existence is constituted by such substances and relations among them.

In dualism there are two kinds of things that are real: mind/thought , idealism, and body, (realism). Mental things can be known only through introspection, first-person accounts, physical things are known through sensible observation, third-person accounts. Introspection reveals the reality of mental things that are accessible only privately. Because the mental and the physical can be conceived as distinct, it is possible that they are distinct.

Behaviorism says all statements about minds, mental life, or mental events can be expressed in terms of behaviors.
