The course introduces students of Social Work and other helping professions into the basics of philosophical thinking using brief introductions into selected disciplines of philosophy and individual readings of some key philosophical texts. It is assumed that this will help the students to further develop their capacities for more precise critical thinking which can/should be used in their professional practice.
