I think that thinking critically definitely helps us see things that were not quite visible and as obvious. But being able to take this new found insight and consider how we might bear able to change or find an alternative is what makes philosophy great. I still have questions whether the applications are as talked about as the theories and hypotheticals because often times things are much more difficult to do then said.

I think in order to reconstruct the foundation of knowledge, we have to break everything down in bite sized pieces and become familiar with these building blocks before we can proceed with our philosophical construction. I wonder if we need to reconstruct our views of the world around us or if other courses that are required for students provide a sufficient framework for which we can stand upon.
