Abstract
This paper holds a reflection on teaching Philosophy for audiences not specialized in it. It starts from the experience itself and autobiographical data from his author, taking into account a critical thinking perspective and an observation of several topics related to the philosophical pedagogy drew from the practice with different kinds of groups and students in classrooms. It also makes an historical survey of some of the possibilities of Philosophy as a service to mankind in different aspects, especially in reference to the search for the meaning of life, the meditation about indifference towards the material world, and its possibilities in business, firms and political world, being the latter a proposal to re-think the options of Philosophy in Latin-America in the future.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
