Teachers hide behind clever phrases

It always seemed to me that philosophy is a complex science. After all, there is so much that I can’t even write down by ear, let alone understand.

But lately I’ve become convinced that the complex becomes simple if the mentor knows how to present it correctly.

The problem is that many professors have read several books, defended their master’s and doctoral dissertations, and are now hiding behind clever phrases. They cannot move away from these terms and convey them differently, because they themselves do not understand them.

Philosophy is here as an example. This is true in other areas - mathematics, history… Even in creative ones - in music, fine arts, design…

The teacher should not hide behind clever phrases. You need to know your subject well - the essence, meaning and be able to convey this to your students. Teaching in the world of students¹.

Someday I’ll try to look from the opposite end - modern “tik-tok” teachers who are against all this “your boring and academic” - fashionable, but empty.
