Abstract

Is the philosophy a worldvision? We ask this question to consider a general education of philosophy in the university. There are a general education course and a major education course in the university. The general education course for introduction to a major education course is also a kind of ladder between secondary education course in the high school and a major education course in the university.BR In the general education course, collegians are to understand, that contents in secondary education course in the high school were a temporary truth for need in life, and they are to be doubted and overcome, and that the general education course is primary for confirming standpoint and manner in another major education courses.BR A general education of philosophy in the university is course for collegians to awaken doing philosophy. In this course, collegians are to build their standpoint and manner for life: worldvision, view of life and value. But achievements of collegians in this course are not enough for purpose and goal of this course, as well as in another general education courses.BR Collegians’ unskillful stereotypes on general education courses cause not to achieve purpose and goal of this course. Collegians behavior in this course, as if general education courses were only a primary or probation for major education course. And this results disturb and cause purpose and goalof this course. In this paper, we are to review general education course, especially general philosophy education.BR According to M. Heidegger, philosophy originate from worldvision, and worldvision from Dasein’s understanding on Being. But we think, worldvision originate from philosophy. In Heidegger’s philosophy, Dasein is the origin of human being. Although we could not yet distinguish preciously between Dasein and human being in Heidegger’s philosophy, Dasein’s understanding on Being is to be a guide for our reviewing a general education of philosophy in the university.BR Heidegger asserted, that a worldvision is already formed in Dasein’s understanding on Being, and a philosophy from this worldvision, and that the origin of sciences is this philosophy. In this point, we can conclude, that a general education of philosophy in the university will let collegians on their own to confirm and be sure origin of worldvision, and then to form worldvision.
