Dossier on Philosophy - The Importance of Philosophy - Think about Thinking

Articles 2 of 3

in SHS Newsletter 01

UNESCO has always maintained close links with philosophy, not speculative or prescriptive philosophy, but critical questioning which gives a meaning to life and to action in an evolving international context.

The philosophy dossier in this issue gives an account of the first UNESCO Philosophy Day celebrated the world over.
