Philosophy of education is a general philosophical study and explanation of every aspect of education. The phrase 'Philosophy of Education’ is not only a part of philosophy, but also a part of education. It is a branch of axiology as it studies about educational value. Again it is accepted as a branch of education as it is the study of the purpose, process, nature and ideals of education. William K Frankena, the analytic philosopher of education considers it a part of axiology because the philosophy of education questions the aims, methods and all the elements of education related to the moral and social conditions. It is a part of education also when it consists of normative and analytical aspects of education.
