The Aims of Teaching Philosophy, Instrumentalization, and Didactics of Philosophy - Philosophy for children is often associated with the effects in the areas of moral and citizenship education. Teaching of philosophy in the gymnasium also has goals in the curriculum that describe its positive effects. In this context, Gert Biesta draws attention to the instrumentalization of philosophy. The question is to what extent the institutional context and the related formal requirements influence the teaching of philosophy. The analysis of different didactics of philosophy shows that it is possible to distinguish between external and internal goals of philosophy. The external ones may be associated with instrumentalization, while the internal ones play an important role in the initiation into the practice of philosophizing. It also shows that we can distinguish two types of the didactics of philosophy: didactics that contribute to the efficiency of instruction, and didactics that can contribute to the emergence of the subject.
