Abstract: in the paper, the author focuses on the need for philosophy in schools and describes the problems of modern Russian society and education which are studied in the field of philosophy. The author considers the teaching experience of G.W.F. Hegel and his course of philosophy for children, specifically Hegel's ideas on the consistency of course content and teaching methods. The article summarizes the Russian and foreign practices of teaching philosophy for children in XX-XXI centuries and demonstrates the common issues in the educational content. The emphasis is placed on the "puzzle" problem of educational programs: the absence of any preconditions for unified scientific and coherent worldview. In addition, the possibilities of building the philosophical outlook among high school students to cure the modern "society's plagues" are outlined. Advanced critical thinking skills, self-reflection, and respect to others opinions prevent prejudices, preconceptions, stereotypes, and bigotry. |
