To think about
"Any society that values creativity also
needs to enable criticism. If we cannot question the way we are doing things and thinking about things at present, it will
not occur to us that they could be thought of or done differently. (...) So philosophy is important partly because cultural
criticism is so important."
CHRISTENSON, Tom (2001). Wonder and Critical Reflection.
An invitation to Philosophy, p. 37. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall Inc.
