Abstract

Perfection does not adhere to a single formula. We have the potential to embody perfection not only in who we are, but also in our actions. In this context, it is essential to move away from the notion of education solely as an instrumental means to achieve specific outcomes (such as skills acquisition, economic goals), and instead view it holistically as a means to fulfill the individual as a whole: an individual who both learns and exists. It is inherent to human nature to seek knowledge and pursue truth. The pursuit of truth, as a cognitive value, is intrinsically linked to intellectual endeavor. Therefore, education should strive to instill a sense of self-awareness in individuals, providing them with a reference point to navigate the world, while simultaneously fostering respect for other cultures. Thus, education serves as both a formative factor in shaping human identity and an essential condition for natural human development.
