Islam va Pazhuheshhaye Tarbiyati

Using a descriptive - analytical approach, the present paper expounds the main issues of epistemology in peripatetic philosophy and comes to a conclusion about its educational implications. The epistemology of peripatetic philosophy is a coherent and methodical system which combines the issues about psychology with angeology in two falling and rising patterns, and makes explicit combined rational explanations of different issues, such as the nature, kinds, hierarchy and sources of knowledge. Such explanations provide the necessary bases of extracting the educational implications, which follows that the connection with active mind can be regarded an important educational goal. In addition to achieving this goal some intermediary and longitudinal objectives, such as developing the outer and inner senses and intellectual faculties will be attainable. Furthermore, achievement of the above-mentioned bases and goals can contribute to realizing some implications about the principles, methods and curriculum. Due to the fact that these implications are drawn from the Islamic approach, they can be of great importance in designing religious curricula.
