Educating Irrationality: On the Place of Philosophy in the Classroom

Authors

philosophy, irrationality, lifestyle, education

Abstract

The following essay reflects on the function of the teaching of philosophy at all levels. In doing so, it attempts to separate philosophy from other pure and social sciences to demonstrate its explicitness. This supports the assertion that the type of moral or ethical training philosophical reflection provides is personally and socially irreplaceable, a demonstration that constitutes, in turn, an invitation to reflection itself.
