HOW TO TEACH PHILOSOPHY – STRATEGIES

Journal Title: Forum Pedagogiczne - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

Polish media, even those ambitious ones, are not concerned about philosophical analyses or commentaries on our intellectual or political life. Moreover, there is no public demand for them, which induces us to investigate the problem further. According to the author, one of the main reasons is the way in which philosophy is taught in secondary schools and universities; it is ‘sterile’, i.e., deprived of any social, cultural or intellectual context. The prevailing approach is the historical (chronological) one, in which philosophical concepts are presented as intellectually sophisticated theories, very distant from everyday life. Those theories may sometimes interact with one another but hardly ever with the world. Analyzing three strategies of teaching philosophy; namely, the historical, worldly-wise and problem-in-its-historical-context ones, the author tries to prove that a variety of approaches are possible. The main body of the article is devoted to a description of the above mentioned strategies, basing on an analysis of some most popular textbooks used in teaching philosophy.
