Philosophy, with its quests, and responses given
for these quests, reflects multiplicity and antinomial irrelevances
rather than totality and relevance in itself. To draw on the premises of
various philosophers, it has no direct correlative with the daily life,
and it is hailed as an activity starting from the point which diverts
from the daily life, and delving into the territories to explore the
essence of the things. Fundamental questions to be asked in this
manuscript can be articulated as thus: Can there be the teaching of an
activity lacking organized knowledge and having no answers to its
questions? Is it an occupation which can be operated through some
educational criteria? As a form of education, what sorts of behavioural
changes can philosophy education aim in a person? Furthermore, are
the questions of philosophy or the answers to be instructed? If the
answers are to be instructed, whose would these be? In this
manuscript, it has been stated that there can be an ample ground for
philosophy education through the contribution of such an education to
build up an adequate correspondence with philosophy in the life of an
individual, thereby constituting a philosophical life. This process has
been called as a hermeneutical process in the manuscript
