Browning as a Moralist and Religious Teacher Abasyn Univeristy, Peshawar, Pakistan Author: Alam Zeb Alamzeb.786@gmail.com Abstract As a moralist and religious preacher, Browning held an extremely particular spot among the essayists of Victorian Age.

Both Confucius and St. Augustine embrace this philosophy and use their mistakes as a pedestal to improve themselves and attain the highest understanding. The concept of self-reflection is an essential part of Confucius and Saint Augustine’s path to enlightenment, their different education background and life philosophies have created very different processes of how one would attain self-improvement: While Confucius has an idea of how a virtuous man should be and one should follow the three virtues to reach enlightenment, Saint Augustine is unclear about his path to God, as he is a man of rhetoric and felt the need to understand God before committing himself to Christianity. Confucius regards education as the only way to self-improvement and morality; he believes that if one were willing to learn, he will naturally find the way and become a virtuous man. It is Confucius’s desire to obtain The Way, which leads him onto the journey of seeking wisdom.

In this paper, which purports to expound and analyze Vivekananda’s views on education, an endeavor has been made to focus on the basic theme of his philosophy, viz. the spiritual unity of the universe. Whether it concerns the goal or aim of education, or its method of approach or its component parts, all his thoughts, we shall observe, stem from this dormant theme of his philosophy which has its moorings in Vedanta.

Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, perhaps best known for his book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, and for popularizing the practice of “critical pedagogy,” also wrote passionately and profoundly about what it means to be human” (Anderson, 2016). He views teachers as authoritative and refers to this as the banking system which is the act of transferring information from teachers head and depositing in students heads. In opposition to this domesticating system, Friere suggests a problem posing education which will break the vertical pattern characteristics of the traditional teacher student relations by establishing a horizontal dialogue and encouraging critical pedagogy (Sabarish-P, 2014). He believes education should raise the awareness of the students so that they become subjects, rather than objects, of the world.
