What does a philosophy teacher teach us?
The purpose of philosophy itself (perhaps even the ultimate purpose) is to transfigure us, to heighten life and support the feeling of being alive. Bwahahahaha!
Another one of those useless courses that liberals think will change the world.

When I was a seminarian, we were allowed to pursue any major for our undergraduate degree, but in order to get into graduate school theology, you had to have at least 18 credits in Philosophy under your belt.
A grounding in Philosophy is sine qua non for being able to understand Systematic Theology.

Bismarck once said something along these lines: If all the questions in philosophy were suddenly answered, nothing would be gained.
