The difficult art of Learning-Aprehending Philosophy

Abstract

This material does not intend to provide an absolute solution to the teaching of Philosophy in Cuban Universities, its objective is to make an approximation to its teaching and the conditions for its analysis at present. It is a rethinking of academic practice based on a permanent investigative attitude, motivating the spirit of investigation, creation, innovation and criticism. It also promotes the recovery of values and the memory of the best that universal human thought has bequeathed. The proposal prioritizes the social function of historical, philosophical, educational and philosophical knowledge, aimed at improving humanist and humanistic training from a philosophical approach and a developer learning in order to elevate the ideological culture of life, promoting the transformation of reality and of oneself, problem solving and decision making, self-confidence, self-assessment and these arch for a better way of being, serving, living and doing in the current conditions. In this sense, the author defends the criterion that the teaching of Philosophy must be guided by the permanent search for the integral formation of students, allowing them, based on its content, to develop their critical and reflective capacities, their creativity and their aesthetic sensitivity and subsequently be in a position to transform the social and psychological space in which they live. Such purposes are only viable if we objectively and truly philosophically review and redesign the study program and be more creative from didactics so that they combine theacquisitionoftheoreticalknowledgewiththepracticeofargumentation, research and problem solving.
