Jiddu Krishnamurti's Educational Philosophy: A Comprehensive Analysis of Philosophical Foundations and Contemporary Implications

Author(s) Ms. Radhika Rana
Country India
Abstract Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986) was one of the most outspoken opponents of the traditional education system in the 20th Century; he advocated an entirely new approach to education based on free thinking, the integration of knowledge, and freedom from conditioning. This study will examine the philosophical underpinnings of Krishnamurti’s educational views and how these relate to the current state of education. By using a systematic theoretical analysis combining the synthesis of theoretical and empirical evidence, including comparative philosophical inquiry and thematic analysis, this study identified three key areas: the personal influences which led to Krishnamurti’s opposition to formal authoritarian systems of education, key themes within Krishnamurti’s theory (choiceless awareness/self-inquiry), and the implications of Krishnamurti’s theory for both pedagogy and the curriculum. Krishnamurti’s theory has widespread theoretical appeal, and there are many descriptive studies about Krishnamurti schools, but very little empirical work exists. Therefore, further investigation into the implementation and practice of Krishnamurti’s pedagogical ideas is needed. Ultimately, Krishnamurti's philosophy can provide a useful and transformative model for challenging excessive standardisation of education, addressing declining student well-being, and decreasing student disengagement if educational systems were to be transformed to accommodate it.
