The philosophy must be understood as two aspects: its historical development and its ability to communicate. Therefore, the relationship between philosophy and literary styles used for its expression is intimate and profound, and closely linked to the most important genres in every age. The subject is raised eminently practical way, and over the semester an active attitude by students was enhanced through: - Scopes for dialogue and reflection, supported by readings of philosophical works. - Personal development tasks written on various topics. The philosopher is not a person beyond his time, but belongs to a particular time where there are customs that must be known in order to grasp in all its depth what he says and how he says it. From this scenario, students can approach the perception that man has of himself and the reality around him throughout history. Students begin to do philosophy of practical and personal way. 1
