Abstract: Affinity-seeking measures employed by high school teachers in Thailand were measured using the Non-verbal Immediacy Behaviors Instrument (Richmond et al., 1987) and the Verbal Immediacy Behaviors Instrument (Gorham, 1988). In all, 437 first-year university students rated a teacher of their choice from high school. Results, for the most part, replicated studies conducted at various educational levels ranging from high school to university and on-line with locations worldwide, primarily the Mid-west in the US, with the exception of two factors: a negative relationship was found between the use of names and affinity-seeking success, whereas the use of touch reflected a positive attribute. Thai-cultural norms, both within and outside of an education environment help to explain these two anomalies to a certain extent in terms of the special relationships between juniors and seniors, students and teachers and the desire not to lose face and to remain calm at all times, both central to the social fabric in Thailand.

Keywords: affinity-seeking measures, high school, teachers, Thai culture, Thailand.

Abstract: The famous definition of philosophy came from the Greeks words philo and Sophia, which means love of wisdom. It follows that to love wisdom means to understand the highest and first principles of everything. This was the reason of philosophy to be the mother of all knowledge before their disintegration from it. Due to this background, philosophy main task is to search for the truth, by using human reason. However, the empirical modern scientists claimed to continue this task by using empirical method, and abandoned reason. When knowledge transformed to empirical investigation, it became commodity like any other with its specific values.  The world embraces the fact, which can only be verified empirically. This is why the author of this paper, has decided to bring into dialogue philosophy and modern empirical scientists to see how they can find the nexus to re-integrate the lost connection. As it has been argued that, critical and reflective mind is a catalyst for scientific and innovative technology. It is hence the aim of this paper to re-discover the position of philosophy as mother and queen of all sciences.
