John Dewey is one of the most important experts in the field of education in the contemporary period, and some of his teachings have become a part of the body of educational systems in the world today. Since education is an integral part of the structure of any society, any weakness in it will weaken the culture of that society. The past educational systems mainly emphasized the intellectual, moral, and religious aspects of education, but nowadays attention to other dimensions, including the aesthetic, critical, and creative dimensions, is seen as a necessity. The reason is that the aesthetic and artistic approach, along with other approaches, can represent the world and its phenomena in a different way for us and provide us with the possibility of experiencing them in a different way. Therefore, in addition to developing intellectual and moral fields, emphasis is also placed on "aesthetic education". The main issue regarding this type of education is that some have only seen it based on the perspective of genius and some based on the perspective of taste; while the aesthetic education of Taaman includes both views. As a result, every successful educational system should pay attention to the development of imagination and the creative dimension of the child's mind, as well as the development of taste to perceive and evaluate beautiful things and works. In the book "Art as an experience" Dewey's work shows attention to both perspectives, on this basis, while reviewing the topics related to aesthetics and the components of aesthetic education, we specifically reread a part of the said work focusing on aesthetic education (based on the perspective of genius and We will discuss the view of taste.

The purpose of this research was to study creativity as an original understanding based on Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, and its implications for education. The research method was analytical-deductive. Creativity is one of the highest goals of all educational systems. Different approaches to Psychology, consistent with the general theoretical frameworks and large assumptions that have been accepted, have provided different and sometimes contradictory definitions. However, creativity is certainly a kind of understanding, a genuine understanding that transcends existing Knowledge. The fundamental axis of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics is what is understood. In this research, while analyzing Gadamer's view on understanding, he examines creativity as the most original type of understanding from Gadamer's point of view and as an example of his practical wisdom, and principles such as not being able to be trained, the ability to be specific, and measure additionality to creativity from the point of view of Godammer's philosophical hermeneutics as well as educational implications such as education goal, form of educational system, teaching method, curriculum, learning, evaluation, motivation and research method were extracted.

This paper is an attempt to study Spinoza's epistemology and its educational supplies with a critical approach based on Islamic teachings. To achieve the objectives of this research, conceptual, descriptive, analytical and critical methods have been applied. The results revealed that issue of recognition plays an important part in his philosophical system. Spinoza divided knowledge into four categories including: knowledge from the senses, experiences, inference and intuitive. Based on his epistemology, the most important educational supplies consist of indoctrination in education, the manifestation of the rational nature in education, the attainment of unity and high stages in the education, the efforts and perseverance of educators, the emphasis on the role of nature in education, paying attention to religious institutions in moral education and avoiding conflicts in learning process. Despite the positive points that exist in the epistemological and educational theories of Spinoza including the activation of educators and the emphasis on rationality, there are also challenges that can be criticized based on Islamic teachings. These include humanistic epistemology of Spinoza's theory, cognitive relativism in Spinoza's theory, and Spinoza’s emphasis on indoctrination in education, ignoring individual differences in education, and lacking of attention to critical thinking in education.

Plato is the first philosopher who states his political views in a sound philosophical system. The testimony to this statement is his two important works, i.e. Republic (Politeia) and Laws (Nomoi) in which one can trace his political views. Plato’s political writings indicate that his life as a great philosopher has never been devoid of the political and social issues of his time. The fusion of politics, metaphysics, ethics and education in Plato’s works demonstrate that he was involved in political and social problems in an important and eventful period. Since no thought is created without passing through the historical bottlenecks, an attempt is made here to examine the impacts of Greece’s eventful and flourishing period, i.e. the fifth century B.C., on Plato’s political views as the recognition of the effective factors influencing the views of a philosopher which will help the researcher understand the historical trends.
