Résumé

In an era of rapid technological advancements and interdisciplinary demands, Computational Philosophy offers a transformative approach to reimagining education. This study explores its integration into pedagogy, emphasizing its potential to enhance active methodologies, promote sustainability education, and incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) tools. By leveraging computational reasoning, logic programming, and AI-driven applications, educators can foster critical thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and ethical awareness. Practical applications include simulations of ethical dilemmas, AI-powered text analysis, and computational models for resource management and environmental decision-making. Computational Philosophy bridges philosophy, computer science, and sustainability, expanding pedagogical foundations and promoting collaboration across disciplines. This study reflects on its theoretical and practical contributions, addressing societal and environmental challenges to prepare learners for an interconnected world. It highlights the importance of integrating Computational Philosophy into educational innovation, equipping students with the skills to navigate ethical and technological complexities.
