Just think: it's important
Australian schools are slowly catching up to European schools in the teaching of philosophy. However this isn’t the contemplate one’s navel type of philosophy, but the art of critical thinking and deductive logic. The question remains why is it that countries like Britain, USA, Canada and Australia have been so slow to introduce philosophy as a subject into their high school curriculum? Such a course is standard in most European schools? Do we just consider it a French thing?
