Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the integration of Design Thinking (DT) into a philosophy course and its impact on student learning and engagement. The problem addressed is the traditional approach to philosophical education, which often lacks practical relevance and fails to engage students in meaningful ways. Background: This paper addresses the problem by introducing DT as a pedagogical tool in philosophy education, aiming to bridge the gap between abstract philosophical concepts and practical applications. It explores how DT can transform traditional philosophical inquiry into an experiential learning process that is engaging and relevant to contemporary challenges. Methodology: The study employs a hybrid methodology combining case study research and narrative inquiry. It focuses on a philosophy course at a Manila higher education institution involving eight students who experienced the DT-integrated curriculum. Data were collected through surveys, in-depth interviews, and analysis of course documents. Contribution: This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by providing qualitative evidence on the effectiveness of DT in enhancing philosophical education. It highlights the potential of DT to foster empathy, enhance creative and critical thinking, promote collaborative learning, and address practical challenges in educational settings. Findings: DT fosters empathy-driven engagement with philosophical problems. It enhances students' creative and critical thinking abilities. DT promotes collaborative and interdisciplinary learning. The study identifies implementation pathways and necessary adaptations for educational transformation. Recommendations for Practitioners: Practitioners are advised to adopt a phased approach to implementing DT in educational settings, develop comprehensive faculty training programs, and establish partnerships with industries to provide students with real-world challenges. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should explore the broader applicability of DT across different academic disciplines and investigate the long-term impacts of DT on student learning outcomes and skill development. Impact on Society: The integration of DT in philosophy education can prepare students to address complex societal issues, fostering a generation of innovative problem-solvers. This approach can contribute to societal well-being by promoting empathetic and inclusive solutions to real-world challenges. Future Research: Future research should focus on the scalability of DT integration across various educational contexts and its impact on diverse student populations. Studies could also explore the integration of DT with digital technologies to enhance remote learning experiences.
