Philosophy Wire: 2010-11-11 Students protested against the raise in university tuitions during the last year in the UK. They attacked the head office of the ruling party in an attempt to complain about the high cost of education. Should education be free? Should everyone have the right to learn? In the old days, education was the priviledge of few. As political philosophy progressed, more and more people gain the chance to access public universities. Knowledge is power, but what can you do with this power if you do not know how to love, how to be ethical or how to be good? Knowledge is power but this power is second to the power of "knowing" how to actually live... If all we care about is how to make money and all we wish is to get into a good university in order to... make more money, then are we really uphloding the true meaning of knowledge?
