I Like Philosophy

It bothers me that philosophy isn't a core subject in school. Instead 'science' has taken it's place. Except it isn't even science... it is teachers telling people scientific theories as if they are true and telling people that the scientific method is infallible. It is sickening. Science is to philosophy (or the lack thereof) as christianity is to theism (or the lack thereof). That wasn't a great analogy since science should at least have a place, but it is essentially considered divine even though it is a flawed method.

Philosophy was a subject you could take at my school. They even had a Business 101 class that you got some college credit in which was really neat.

@Rain95 I feel like having philosophy as an elective is like having a foreign language as an elective... there iust isn't enough time devoted to the subject for people to learn it well enough that it makes a difference in their life. In 3 years of foreign language class you are unlikely to learn enough of the language to make use of it, and I think the same applies to philosophy.
