Philosophy's Higher Education

The author reflects on the disconnect between formal education and personal philosophical growth, beginning in adolescence. This journey leads to an exploration of dualisms, particularly the interplay between the individual and society, as studied in sociology. The narrative evolves through university experiences, where the concept of the dialectic emerges, revealing that various dualisms—such as self and other, good and evil—are interrelated and complex. This realization mirrors the author's earlier educational experiences, emphasizing the intricate relationship between thought and understanding.
