    A PHILOSOPHICAL THEORY OF DUALISM AND ITS PLACE IN EDUCATION IN THIS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AGE
    (2024-12) DR. TOWOJU KAYODE TIMOTHY; ABDULLAHI IBRAHIM SALAHU-DEEN, Ph.D,; ADELEYE AJIBOYE RAPHAEL
    The main purpose of this paper is to provide a clarification of theory of dualism by showing its place in the process of education in this artificial intelligent age. Dualism is a philosophical theory which posits the existence of two fundamental substance entities or realms, often contrasted as mind and body, soul and matter or consciousness and physical. Dualism posits that these two aspects are separate and distinct, and that they interact regularly but are not reducible to each other James, 1960. This work was embarked upon to draw the attention of the educators and stakeholders to the important role of mind and body in the process of education. The clarification of dualism is to show its place in education, and it becomes necessary because in the process of acquiring knowledge, the reception and precaution/storing of ideas, reading and the process of awareness or consciousness, the mind explores various sources of ideas, and the body serves as an instrument of actions during the process of teaching and learning in this artificial intelligent age. Based on the foregoing discussion, it is obvious that in education, most courses are splitted up into its practical (physical) and theoretical (mental) foundation; this calls for the consideration of how dualism influences our educational prosperousness in order to breed progressive development and improvement. This owes to the fact that educators, stakeholders can annex the dual nature of man for the purpose of improving the quality of education in this artificial intelligent age, if the place of dualism in education is properly figured out as mental and physical, knowledge will easily be acquired.

    The paper provides a philosophical underpinning of entrepreneurship education by showing how its philosophical base freely affects the procuring, maintaining and development of competent workforce in an organization to achieve the greatest goals. In the course of the explanation, the necessary philosophy of pragmatism coupled with the power of limited human freedom are employed to root out effective freedom management. This is because, pragmatism embraces human experience and emphasizes changes. Hence, it can be used to determine the appropriate structure and scope of the entrepreneurship education as it equally embraces freedom by encouraging people/human to seek out process when works best in order to achieve desirable end through freedom management. The methodology of approach is conceptual clarification and this is the structural framework by which philosophical arguments are suited for logical presentation. Therefore the bearing of entrepreneurship education on the freedom management in an organization is elucidated using the philosophy of pragmatism. The study prefers that knowledge need to be re-directed, re-oriented and reformulated to address the problem of freedom management to enable each component of the workforce to work in its state of affairs to become aware of itself as method of responsibility
