Wrong how? Philosophy is about tools for thought. Tools can have different use cases, pros/cons, and can be used wrong, but they are never really just wrong in a general sense. I might not agree with Kant's categorical imperative but it is still useful sometimes when thinking about ethics.
Also "learning the truth" in philosophy is more learning what "the truth" means and how it is applied. Personally I'm a fan of William James' pragmatism approach here but it is not commonly held.
