The study attempts to present a partial picture of different cultural traditions.
It shows Western and Buddhist perspectives to highlight the untenable nature of truths that are called universal. We also use a discourse based teaching method to focus on the barrier-generating and barrier-free nature of human beings.
The “methodology” of the study is hermeneutic, it seeks to understand and make sense of phenomena instead of providing causal explanations. The findings are intended for the purpose of understanding and interpretation, not empirical proof. The usual linear line is avoided, and no attempt is made to present the full philosophical or hermeneutical “background”.
The practice of participatory teaching known and used in special education can be applied to teaching philosophy and philosophy-related subjects, since the development of a mutually supportive relationship between students and teachers is a prerequisite for joint thinking.
