I feel that Philosophy will provide me with world views that can be utilized in therapy to help guide the patient to health. I cannot emphasize introducing Philosophy into the high school enough. In fact I would go as far as to say that schools should start as early as possible to introduce Philosophy to children. It is my contention that children ought to be exposed to as many differing world views as possible. I strongly believe that this would open children's minds and help them to think more critically at an earlier age.
Philosophy is a means of teaching people the way to live the good life.
Whatever that means, it is important that the children get exposed to philosophers who attempt to answer the question of what the good life means to them, so the kids can see their lives in a great light. I was not exposed to a Philosophy course until college. I didn't know what exactly Philosophy was until Freshman year, and at that point I was completely taken by it. I do wish that I was exposed to these great ideas earlier in my life. The Philosophy major is definitely less popular than before.
