Education and Knowledge 1

 If I find  someone talking most unscientifically, that is basing the arguments on beliefs and conventions, I ask him/her whether he/she is/was from  science discipline? In over 90% cases the answer is affirmative. I don't blame them. This is the tragedy of our education in general, and science education in particular. It was hoped and expected that with the 'Enlightenment' - the scientific revolution following Renaissance in Europe, , the belief based "understanding" shall be replaced by "scientific knowledge" based on facts and logical arguments -- the dialectical unity of matter and their ideas. That did not happen, rather went in the other direction.  The perennial contradiction of knowledge and education  remains a big question and a matter of serious concern for all of us. Let us discourse.
