%X this essay aims to discuss the relevance and need for philosophy in the curriculum of all university courses, showing that the presence of this component is essential as formative mediation in university education, in view of its intrinsic purpose. it assumes that such formation, in addition to ensure scientific and technical preparation to the professional, it must assure them intellectual maturity and sensitivity that generate conceptual and evaluative references to orientate their practices in the workplace, in the social universe and in the cultural sphere. it then argues that philosophy can play this formative role explaining and discussing the problems of knowledge, action and existence and thus contributing significantly to make professional qualification more consistent.
