Attempts of undue separation of the philosophy of education and curriculum theory and development in the teaching of systematic functional education have been seriously criticized. This has been so because it is not in the best interest in the teaching of an intelligent and national curriculum which forms the bedrock to the development of a truly vibrant educational system in Nigeria. This paper, therefore, is an attempt to investigate the relevance of the philosophy of education to the development of an intelligent curriculum which is imperative to the teaching of functional education in the technical, the sciences, the humanities and social sciences towards the revitalization of the Nigerian educational sector.

General Culture

The philosophy of education interprets, discusses and criticizes various educational policies and strategies. One of the important missions of modern education is the development of critically thinking citizens possessing general culture, intellect and reflexivity of thought. Quality education presupposes the establishment of conditions for the development of these important educational characteristics through the teaching of humanities and social sciences and their improvement and enrichment in the research aspect. This article aims to acquaint Bulgarian intellectual community with a relatively new philosophical direction, such as the philosophy of sport and to clarify the meaning and mission of this philosophy in the broader field of philosophy of education.

The Relationship

The relationship between the law of parent and child and the humanities/social sciences seems to be so obvious that a clarification and systematization of this relationship is regarded as unnecessary. The call for an integration of the humanities and the social sciences in legal studies and legal practice was very pronounced during the 1980s and 1990s. This integration has been partially realized back then, but was revoked later on. The need for taking findings from the humanities and social sciences in law studies, legislation, and legal practice into account is more relevant now than it was ever before. In the present treatise, only the disciplines’ interwoven areas pertaining to the law of parent and child can be identified. Regarding the law of parent and child, there is reasonable hope that legislation and legal practice by means of drawing on and integrating humanities’ and social sciences’ methods and knowledge bases may be able to find alternatives that meet the best interest of the child (or at least constitute the least detrimental alternative). Zusammenfassung Die Beziehung zwischen Kindschaftsrecht und den Human-/Sozialwissenschaften ist so offensichtlich, dass eine Klärung und Systematisierung dieses Verhältnisses überflüssig schien. Der Ruf nach einer Integration der Human- und Sozialwissenschaften in Rechtswissenschaft und in Rechtsanwendung war in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts en vogue; sie wurde in Ansätzen verwirklicht, aber auch wieder zurückgenommen. Die Notwendigkeit, Erkenntnisse der Human-/Sozialwissenschaften in der Familienrechtswissenschaft, der Gesetzgebung und der Rechtspraxis zu beachten, ist aktueller denn je. In dieser Abhandlung können lediglich die Berührungsbereiche am Beispiel des Kindschaftsrechts aufgezeigt werden. Für das Kindschaftsrecht besteht die berechtigte Hoffnung, dass Gesetzgebung und Rechtsanwendung unter Heranziehung und Einbeziehung human-/sozialwissenschaftlicher Methoden und Wissensbestände noch am ehesten eine dem Wohl des Kindes am besten gerecht werdende ‒ besser: eine dem Wohl des Kindes am wenigsten schädliche ‒ Alternative finden.

The Politics in Higher Education: The contemporary Crises in Higher Education in Nigeria is a consequence of fundamental political manipulations of the educational system – at both the federal and state levels. The government did not take the economy of the country into consideration. This had now made almost all the institutions of higher education of learning in Nigeria to face the financial constraints. For instance look at the specialized Universities of Agriculture at Abeokuta and Makurdi and the Faculties of Science and Technology in Nigerian universities are all facing the same financial problems as the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences. Furthermore, libraries in most higher institutions of learning today are ill-equipped. Therefore, establishing higher institutions here and there without maintaining the already existing ones is not in the best interest for national development.

The Impact

Book Review: P.P. Tolochko. Ukraine between Russia and the West: Historical and Nonfiction Essays. Saint Petersburg: Saint Petersburg University of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2018. - 592 pp. ISBN 978-5-7621-0973-4This author discusses the problem of scientific objectivity and reviews a book written by the medievalist-historian P.P. Tolochko, full member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU), honorable director of the NASU Institute of Archaeology. The book was published by the Saint Petersburg University of Humanities and Social Sciences in the autumn of 2018. The book presents a collection of articles and reports devoted to processes in Ukraine and, first of all, in Ukrainian historical science, which, at the moment, is experiencing an era of serious reformation of its interpretative models. The author of the book shows that these models are being reformed to suit the requirements of the new ideology, with an obvious disregard for the conduct of objective scientific research. In this regard, the problem of objectivity of scientific research becomes the subject of this review because the requirement of objectivity can be viewed not only as a methodological requirement but also as a moral and political position, opposing the rigor of scientific research to the impact of ideological, political and moral systems and judgments. It is concluded that in this sense the position of P.P. Tolochko can be considered as the act of profound ethical choice.
