Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the cognitive aspects of education and training of young people using Practical Philosophy and to prescribe their functional load.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The work analyzes modern applied practices of philosophical education and means of educating Practical Philosophy.
Findings: The findings reveal that teaching using Practical Philosophy students contributes to the formation of the skills of understanding and analyzing information, the application of the basics of formal logic, the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships, the ability to express one’s point of view in an argumentative manner, as well as skills that contribute to the self-organization of young people through reflection and self-reflection, self-regulation and self-control.
Originality/value: As a result of the research, it was found that Practical Philosophy is a way to acquire skills through study. These are essential skills for a modern person, such as thinking competence, which involves a culture of thinking, and critical and creative thinking skills, such as setting goals, motivation, and orientation to the effective solution of the tasks. Also, Practical Philosophy promotes the formation of research and cognitive, social-psychological, and ethical skills. Philosophy (its practices and methods) contributes to the formation of the skills of simplifying and segmenting significant problems, understanding the value of cognitive activity, imitating the experience of generations, and learning in the process.
Keywords: Practical Philosophy, problem-based learning, philosophical counseling, philosophy for children.
