According to a philosophical commonplace, Aristotle defined human beings as rational animals. When
one takes a closer look at the surviving texts, however, it is surprisingly hard to find such a definition. Of
course, Aristotle repeatedly stresses that he regards rationality as the crucial differentiating characteristic
of human beings, but he nowhere defines the essence of what it is to be human in these terms. What is
more, Aristotle’s abundant remarks about human nature are scattered throughout his texts, and he offers
no systematic treatise on human beings.

11. A person is a social animal who learns well through an active interplay with others.
This philosophy belongs to theory of Progressivism why? Progressivism is a theory of education
concerned by learning by doing “that children learn best when pursuing their own interests and satisfying
their own needs. Progressivists believe that education should focus on the whole child, rather than on the
content or the teacher. This educational philosophy stresses that students should test ideas by active
experimentation. Learning is rooted in the questions of learners that arise through experiencing the world.
It is active, not passive. The learner is a problem solver and thinker who makes meaning through his or
her individual experience in the physical and cultural context.

A person is a social animal who learns well through an active interplay with others means that through
interaction with others they a learned something. For example In a progressivist school, students are
actively learning. The students interact with one another and develop social qualities such as cooperation
and tolerance for different point of views. An obvious example of progressivism would be our class. We
are in groups a lot and we actively learn through discussion.
