This article represents some critical considerations about the first two chapters of the
first volume of "An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education in the Islamic
republic of Iran", written by Khosrow Bagheri. In the first chapter, the author
introduces three approaches to Islamic Philosophy of Education and after explaining
their characteristics and pointing out some disadvantages of the first two, chooses
the third approach as a foundation for his work. The second chapter discusses three
methods in Philosophy of Education, which are: (1) Conceptual analysis and
interpretation, (2) Practical syllogism, and (3) (Quasi-) transcendental analysis.
Critical considerations of the first chapter of the book are discussed in the first
part of this article, including "General and foundational considerations" and
"Particular considerations". Also, the second part of the article analyzes the second
chapter of the book, emphasizing on "General and foundational considerations",
