Abstract

Although philosophy seems to be indivisible from how it is taught and communicated, a sufficient distinction is not always made between research into philosophy and the processes of teaching it. Consequently, an explicit reflection on the methodology of learning philosophy is sometimes missing. This is precisely during a period when the discipline’s position in syllabuses has been reduced to the extent that it is now almost absent. It is increasingly necessary and relevant to study how it is taught and its importance as a subject.
