Why I Believe Philosophy Is Overlooked In Education

in #dtube6 years ago (edited)


You can only have a productive conversation and effectively debunk one side of the argument if and only if both sides in the argument agree that logic and knowledge are the most effective way to determining the best outcome or the most correct claim. Considering that isn't the case today, how can we have logical and rational discussions that are productive and avoid descending into discourse. We argue everyday and currently political debates are so prevalent in our day to day lives that a proper understanding of ethos and philosophy is critical to a functioning social system. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.

@scottcbusiness, I may be wrong but in my opinion Education system teaches us the subject of Rat Race more than any explorative subject which can make us extended versions of ourselves. Logical thinking and Critical thinking is needed because in that way we will going to discover new subjects of life. Stay blessed. 🙂

You're exactly right. That's why I think it's so key to stress philosophy :)

True brother. Have a blessed time ahead. 🙂

And not just philosophy, many things are overlooked, and it seems the education is controled for someone o some people.

For sure. Philosophy is just something I'm passionate about and I believe is needed. It would be amazing if they put more emphasis on cooking, taxes, entrepreneurship, accounting, etc.

Good point, philosophy, logical and critical thinking important.
However, the purpose of publically funded and policy regulated education is to indoctrinate with nationalism and the leading political ideologies of the day.
We don't need no education we don't need no thought control...and whatever Mark Twain said.

Haha and whatever Mark Twain said. Love it. You're definitely right
