No, it's not. Philosophy is an art, not a science. You can't
just isolate one area and say you know the subject.
The hindus have a story about 5 blind men. Each touches a
different part of an elephant, and each comes away with a
different perspective.
But if you were to learn that philosophy from CCCCD, you would
believe that Aesop made that story up. You would be misinformed.

Yeah - same goes for math and science and literature.
School is a place to knock down the walls of ignorance, not
build them.
