The Connection Between Love and Learning

Love plays a crucial role in the philosophical approach to education, as individuals navigate both personal relationships and their connections to learning. The speaker draws parallels between lifelong commitments, like marriage, and the desire for students to become lifelong learners, suggesting that engagement in education should reflect a deep emotional investment. Recognizing that educational engagement is often reduced to a mere obligation, he emphasizes the need to cultivate a genuine love for learning, akin to a loving relationship. This perspective challenges educators to rethink the language used around learning, aiming for a transformation that celebrates the joy and passion associated with it.
