Complete 2 pages APA formatted article: Philosophy in daily experience. Philosophy in daily experience It was today that I visited my Aunt. She has two children, a boy and agirl. The boy is 18 years old, whereas the girl is 15 years old. When I reached at aunt’s house I saw that she seemed to be a bit stressed about something. I asked her what the matter was. she replied that her daughter has failed the exam. She said that Sally (her daughter) is an intelligent kid but she does not seem to be interested in studies. She is interested in sports, especially basketball, as she was also the captain of the girls’ basketball team in school.

My aunt never restricted her children from taking part in any extracurricular activities. The only thing she wanted was that because of her children taking part in extracurricular activities their grades should not suffer. I told her that it would be a pleasure for me if I could help her to deal with this issue. She smiled and said that perhaps I could help her by talking to my cousin and make her understand that how important education is. I agreed and went to my cousin’s room.

Sally was awake, reading Inferno. I knocked the door and she asked me to come in. After greeting her I sat next to her on her bed. I asked her about her result. She said that she is not happy with it but still her only priority is basketball at the moment and education is merely a formality for her. I asked her if I could see the book she is reading. She handed me the book. I said that does she even know that what this book is about. She said she has just started it and she is not yet clear about the concept of the book. I said if I was Dante from the book I would summarize the whole concept of this book as people who end up in hell are the ones who do not have the knowledge about what is right and wrong. the knowledge that we can only gain through education (Dantes Inferno).

She seemed quite interested in what I was trying to explain it to her. She said that she always thought that education is just a formality for her and nothing else. I paraphrased one of the most famous quoted from Aristotle’s Metaphysics which goes something like this that every person needs wisdom to deal with the principles and causes of things. I told her that there is nothing wrong with making her career in sports but as Aristotle says education will definitely help her to deal with problems and will help her to deal with things (Aristotles Metaphysics). I told her that education is the source of turning the minds of the people towards good, according to Plato. It helps us to come out of the darkness and see the sun. Sally said that I have given her a new perception and now she looks at education differently, which made me feel relaxed and satisfied (The Republic).
