The Task as a Basis and Foundation in the Teaching and Learning of Philosophy
This paper describes the method of teaching philosophy, considering the “Homework” as the fundamental axis of this strategy, as a basic nucleus in the teaching of philosophy, also adapted to virtual, distance or remote teaching. To this end, it identifies the two aspects of the teaching of philosophy, the content formed by the concepts and the method as the “Doing of philosophy”; this Doing is the “philosophical act”; in such a way that, the students exercise, prepare or train themselves in the philosophical act, without excluding the content of philosophy. The “task” in the teaching of philosophy is fundamentally centred on the analysis of the philosophical text, developed by the student during his classes or lessons; the “text” of the analysis contains the philosophical concept, and its execution develops the method of philosophy; thus, the Task in the teaching of philosophy addresses the content and the method in parallel or simultaneously as consubstantial and inseparable aspects of philosophy.
