Abstract

CRISTANCHO ALTUZARRA, José Gabriel. The purpose of philosophy. Civilizar [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.18, pp.81-90. ISSN 1657-8953.

It is vital to ask what to teach in philosophy and how, but to address this question, we must first determine with what purpose to do it, but above all, to know what isthe purpose of philosophy. Perhaps by determining the essential basis it would be clearer to answer the question of teaching and learning, even more, all this will help to clarify the mission of the philosophy and the philosopher today. To resolve this ponder is a philosophical reflection on traditional academic practices. Then, from some authors, it is made a dissertation on what is philosophy, to deduce in which aspects of the current academic practices is present or distant the philosophy. Finally we propose some perspectives to extend the philosophy and teaching of philosophy.

Keywords : philosophy; purpose of philosophy; teaching philosophy; academic practices.
