Abstract

Teaching profession is considered to be a social action that is set in the life-world, where intersubjective relations are demonstrated and must be valued by the teacher in any circumstance in which it acts. In an attempt to equalize educational opportunity for all learners, a deep insight into education of exceptional students is emphatically given due consideration. This study drew attention to the main idea of social phenomenology of Alfred Schutz and how it could be of assistance in providing a full integration of exceptional students in society. It presented the needs of implementing social action to different kinds of exceptionalities in special educational system from the perspective of social phenomenology of Alfred Schutz. By incorporating Schutz’s conceptional theory of social action into special education, this paper recommended that the special education teachers should be more concerned on mutual understanding and accepting the subjects’ psychological state of mind and other problems they encounter academically. They should value and apply the aspects accentuated by this theory within the educational framework.

Abstract

This article explores the intrinsic characteristics of the Igbo people from a philosophical perspective. Drawing on Igbo cosmology and metaphysics, the paper argues that the Igbo possess certain distinctive traits such as communalism, practical intelligence, and a deep sense of spirituality. These traits are embedded in the Igbo worldview and shape their cultural practices and social structures. The article further suggests that an understanding of the Igbo's intrinsic characteristics can deepen intercultural understanding and promote a more equitable and inclusive global society. The writer, therefore employed the hermeneutics methodological approach. This approach involves a critical examination of the beliefs, values, and practices of the Igbo people, and how they relate to their worldview and metaphysics. It also considers the ways in which these intrinsic characteristics shape the social structures and cultural practices of the Igbo people, and how they can contribute to a more equitable and inclusive global society.
