  • Doctrines existentialistes
CONT

Le libre examen est un principe qui prône le rejet de l'argument d'autorité en matière de savoir et la liberté de jugement [...]

CONT

L'esprit de libre examen que propose la philosophie conduit l'étudiant ou l'étudiante au questionnement et à l'exercice du jugement critique; cela l'habitue à revenir sur sa façon de penser afin d'en considérer le bien-fondé. En conséquence, la formation en philosophie rend l'étudiant ou l'étudiante apte à interroger les évidences et à nuancer sa réflexion.
