Philosophical Critique of the Contemporary Human Sciences

Question: Describe about the Philosophical Critique of the Contemporary Human Sciences. Answer: Personal Philosophy Teaching can be conducted in various manner and different teachers have different manner of teaching. Thus, the philosophy of teaching includes your personal conception in relation to teaching. The manner of teaching is very important for teaching to be fruitful and genuinely impart knowledge. As a teacher, I follow the principles of Realism in my teaching. Realism in relation to teaching refers to teaching logic and critical thinking along with scientific methods to students which can make students to understand reality in a better way and learn the manner in which one should adapt to various situations (Bhaskar, 2014). School and college experience In my experience of teaching in a college, I had experienced many students facing great difficult with various issues in life and I felt that it was very difficult for some of them to adjust with complex situations. Thus, I felt that teaching the students the principles of realism helped them adjust and adapt to many crisis they faced at a young age. Additionally the philosophy of behaviorism helped me understand their mental state which made me realize the philosophy of realism can be helpful in teaching college students. Behaviorism suggests that the physical and verbal behavior of an individual helps to understand his internal state of mind. Thus, behaviorism can help in teaching immensely which can help teachers to handle each student individually judging their behavior (Staddon, 2014). Personal view Thus, I believe that teaching syllabus is not always enough and as a teacher you need to make your students learn to be practical which can be achieved by following the philosophies of realism and behaviorism.
