Loren's post of 7th May had a very cautious approach to the inclusion of philosophy in science education.
Science is deemed autonomous and objective - a sure path to discovering reality.
It is my view that this view of science is so widespread and so controversial that it is vital to make some attempt to address this in educational programmes. This area is closely related to the place of presuppositions in human cognisance of the world. We all bring our presuppositions - whether we are conscious of it or not. The objection can be made that these areas are too demanding for such young minds. The emergence of plate tectonics.
