L a enseñanza de la filosofía y sus contribuciones al desarrollo del pensamiento / The teaching of philosophy and its contributions to the development of thought

Abstract

The development of thought is a fundamental part in the formation of the individual, but discussing this topic within the realm of Philosophy implies transcending biological structures - physiological and psychological – to analyze deeper ones, such as values, consciousness, otherness, the meaning of life and freedom. Topics such as these, forgotten today by the rapid advance of technology, communication and science, must be addressed in order to find answers to the challenges of an increasingly complex society. Undoubtedly, education plays an important role in the development of thought, which is why it is the right way to take the first step in the transformation of reality through the teaching of Philosophy.
