大约从12岁开始，我就认为自己是一个“哲学家”，这让成年人普遍感到愤怒(你可以随意解释“哲学家”周围的名言)。同龄人对此完全没有意见，而且常常对此很感兴趣。令人着迷的是，许多现在的想法和观点可以追溯到那个时代。奇怪的是，我后来的科学生涯就由此而生。
I was a voracious reader, but missed out on valuable other exposure -- such as "Philosophy Talk" which was unfortunately lacking back in those old days!

I would strongly encourage philosophy courses at multiple points over the course of an education. I would just as strongly encourage psychology education for every young person.
德尔菲神谕神庙的铭文是“认识你自己”。这总结了很多古代哲学，也是心理学的使命。
Both promote critical thinking skills.
如果我必须在哲学和心理学之间做出选择，我想我会选择后者，如果后者有助于让年轻人了解为什么人们会有这样的感觉和行为，以及认知偏见的有害影响。

As a contractor, ethics constantly come into play in my job as owner of the company. It would be very easy to not do things right and cover them up. As a responsible person, and contractor, I believe that doing the right thing is the right thing. athttp://www.dreamworksremodeling.com这是我们承包工作的唯一方式。我们也使用了学校教给我们的大部分技能，包括几何，当然还有英语(我的弱项)。

To your quote: "Of course, I don?t want to deny that philosophy has to be used carefully and that it can be dangerous if used wrongly. Done wrongly, philosophy can be highly corrosive to one?s life. It can lead you to doubt everything. It can cause you wonder whether life has meaning, to question your religion, your country, your parents, and even your teachers."
Umm, yeah! We do want people, young people included, to self examine their religious and patriotic beliefs; as an exercise and because we do not want them to listen to bad arguments for: going to war, making decisions about sex and birth control and many other examples. And I, as a parent, fully want my child to question me if I attempt to lead him astray and into unreason.

What you say: "Done wrongly, philosophy can be highly corrosive to one?s life. It can lead you to doubt everything. It can cause you wonder whether life has meaning, to question your religion, your country, your parents, and even your teachers. Do we really want to cast the young out onto the sea of philosophical doubt and uncertainty? Don?t we want to teach them to how to thrive and succeed in the world? To do that, they sometimes have to accommodate authority, not question it or reflexively rebel against it." I find it the most agreeable part & very conservative at that. Nevertheless, as 'Devil's advocate' (Or Devil advocate) I would say that it is not altogether bad to question life, catholicism, country et al. But KNOW HOW TO QUESTION. That would be the difference between common rebellion & crabby bickering and a philosophical stand. That is, avoid the problems of young (and also problems of older, which are no better): without conformity at any price, without presumptions, without superb pride. Young try to be & think like old and viceversa. The best example is Socrates. People won't burn you if when young you rebel and are against all, because you are young: you are entitled to be mistaken. It is when a serene, calmed but nevertheless reasonable critique is done when they will burn you, be you a child or an old man. Or maybe just give you a treat of a Hemlock cocktail. ¡Good (hem)lock! Life is to ask about things. it is not easy to do, but it doesn´t need to be done unpolitely and gross. Diogenes was a sage IN SPITE of his uncouthness and bad manners. Much I prefer Leibniz, Aquinas, Hume and others. Their humble deaths are an example. Knows to die he who has known to live.

Socrates the philosopher was concerned with Truth. Truth implies, like, avoiding falsehoods, explicit or implicit.
Now, Stanford has a reputation for...Nepotism (ie letting students in who are underprepared, but who may have financial or familial connections which ...allow them to be admitted) .
Nepotism involves falsehood (at least implicit), even of an egregious sort (and for that matter, the ancients opposed oligarchy...a classification which Stanford might fall under).
Thus Stanford does not uphold the teachings of Socrates

Socrates was executed for corrupting the youth in America, youth below college age are usually not exposed to philosophy in the classroom. Is philosophy all that dangerous? Should it be taught to teenagers?

遗憾的是，我很少与现代青年接触，所以我没有能力就让他们接触复杂的哲学的利弊发表太多意见。我只能评论我自己的OEOs，关于我自己的哲学进化。像您的一位或多位评论者一样，我一定很早就把自己想象成一个哲学家。我不知道我对某些事情的想法可能会被归入某个特定的类别。哲学在小学和中学都不教，在大学学习之前也不会被正式提及。
Mostly, my thinking and actions vis-a-vis, right, wrong, good, bad and indifferent got me into trouble, with peers, superiors or both. This happened to anyone who thought and acted differently from the mainstream.
我放弃了很多这种反常的想法和行为，直到最近十年左右才重新接受它。我很高兴这样做，并希望我说的一些话，在现在和进入永恒之间，会有一些相关性。
There is nothing corruptive about philosophical thought and discourse. But it will not buy food or pay the mortgage. And, if history teaches us accurately, it will not save the world from itself. It might encourage some of us to regard others with more respect and compassion. Perhaps this is all it was ever intended to do. If it was intended to do anything at all.

Philosophy encompasses many subjects. Some of the topics are very relevant to the youth such as logic, ethics, environmental and political philosophy. I believe also that studying the history of philosophy captures the history of ideas and may broaden the horizon of the young and their openness and flexibility.
