Abstract
Abstract:This study critically examines the philosophical underpinnings that inform contemporary educational frameworks, with a particular focus on the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in India. The research explores the intersection of educational philosophy with curriculum development, pedagogical strategies, and policy formulation. By engaging with diverse philosophical traditions, the study assesses how these traditions influence the NEP's approach to fostering critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and inclusive education. The research identifies key philosophical principles that resonate within the NEP, highlighting their relevance in addressing the challenges of 21st-century education. The literature review provides a broad spectrum of perspectives on the integration of philosophy in education, drawing from both historical and contemporary sources. The study also proposes a qualitative research methodology to analyze the practical application of these philosophical concepts in educational settings. Through thematic analysis of policy documents, interviews, and focus groups, the research aims to uncover the philosophical foundations that support the NEP's goals of equity, inclusivity, and lifelong learning. The findings underscore the necessity of aligning educational practices with philosophical inquiry to achieve a coherent and transformative educational experience in India
