  The purpose of this article is to extract the Iranian philosophy of education based on the cultural characteristics of the ancient Iran. To obtain this aim, we will consider Taylor’s definition of culture and his emphasis on four main elements including state, social conditions, religion and education. In terms of research methods, we will employ historical method, transcendental analysis, and practical deduction. The findings of this research are organized in terms of the final goal of education, the fundamental concept of education, the philosophical foundations (anthropology, epistemology, and axiology) and the principles derived from them. Accordingly, in the ancient Iran, the final goal of education was “attaining goodness” and in this regard, different dimensions of human existence were considered. This point, especially in the individual aspect is one of the strengths of implicit philosophy of ancient Iranian education. Concerning anthropology, there was a deterministic look to human and his abilities, as well as social immobility and belonging to a particular social class, characteristics that can be criticized. In epistemology, the dependence of knowledge on the social classes, the lack of attention to the value of knowledge itself and the domination of imitative approaches over rationalization are among the weaknesses of this educational philosophy. There are also strengths and weaknesses in its axiology. In the social dimension, the stability of class values and the lack of power of choice are negative points. On the other hand, in terms of individual values, the commitment of individuals and the role of the family in transferring values are considered to be positive points. Manuscript profile

  By looking beyond what is often said about the importance and necessity of education and culture in shaping human and society, this article seeks to analyze the other side of culture and education that does not let the pupils to think in other ways of life and prevent them from creativity. Using the concept of "unrealized possibilities", the paper emphasizes on the ways in which culture and education prevent pupils from attention to some possibilities such as freedom and comprehensive development. The main goal of the paper is to answer these questions: How does culture and education restrain human minds from creativity and lead to the unrealized possibilities? How can the unrealized opportunities be realized? The method of critical analysis is used in order to answer these questions. The findings indicate that unrealized possibilities can be realized through providing pupils with cultural intelligence, creativity, meta-cultural vision, active role, and individuality.

  The present paper seeks to study and critique the relation of culture and education regarding agency in education documents of Iran. In order to reach this aim, the education documents are studied through qualitative content analysis and conceptual analysis methods especially concept interpretation method and conceptual structure assessment method . This study revealed that there is an internal contradiction in this documents despite the main role they have in explaining this relation. In these documents, concepts like agency, asymmetrical interaction, dynamic of culture and developmental traditionalism have been emphasized which can be regarded as the strength points of documents, on the other hand it is stressed that all this concepts must be grounded on the Islamic criterion system, And this lead to the internal contradiction between these concepts in these documents. This paper studied the evidences of this contradiction and classified them as the governance of the Islamic criterion system, ambiguity of the meaning of the culture, contradiction of asymmetrical interaction with emphasizing on the Islamic criterion system, dominance of the traditionalism on agency and ambiguous conceptual boundaries between culture transmission and culture criticism.
