In many universities in eastern europe, Philosophy and Logic is a required subject regardless of your major (and so was some form of PE). At least it was when I briefly studied there a decade ago. I think its great but it requires you not to look at university education as a product sold in exchange for better shot at jobs, but as a form of bettering yourself. This goes very much against how western universities are run (where I also studied).
- the_third_wave 5y agoIt was mandatory when I studied at Wageningen University (an agricultural university in the Netherlands) in the 90's, the subject was called 'wetenschapsfilosofie' (philosophy of science). It was not taken seriously by most students since the way the subject was taught and tested was not very inspiring, to pass the test it seemed to be enough to intersperse dense prose with the names of some well-known philosophers - Popper being the king here.
