When the world gets confused.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This post is the second in a series of posts about a reflec­tion on our abi­li­ty to social­ly evolve. These posts should be read in the order of their publi­ca­tion. For example, star­ting with the 6th would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

I will the­re­fore begin this long lite­ra­ry address with a sub­ject that is close to my heart and always will be; edu­ca­tion. But first of all, I’m going to try and “free­style” a defi­ni­tion of education.

The roots of the word “edu­ca­tion” are somew­hat lost in time, as with many words. What is inter­es­ting in the science of words, ety­mo­lo­gy, is to draw up a tree of mea­nings and to see the branches that a par­ti­cu­lar word has taken on over time. Some­times, but rare­ly, a word has rigo­rous­ly retai­ned its men­tal mea­ning of rea­li­ty, but often, the words have been “tor­tu­red” in order to bor­row their mea­ning for other pur­poses. They were divi­ded, stret­ched in all direc­tions, and new mea­nings that were not quite the same as the ori­gi­nal ones emer­ged from these manipulations.

Thus, for the word “edu­ca­tion,” we don’t have to go too far back into the ety­mo­lo­gi­cal tree and we will stay close to our notion of it. “Edu­ca­tion” means “to construct” or bet­ter, “ to ins­truct”. By chop­ping up the word “ins­truc­tion”, we can find the suf­fix “-tion”, which is the action of doing some­thing. There is the pre­fix “in-“, which refers to the inter­io­ri­ty of the object in ques­tion. Final­ly, we find “struc”, which recalls the word “struc­ture”, which refers to an orga­ni­zed assem­bly accor­ding to a cer­tain logic.

To be continued.
