@Mister Carcer,
Philosophy courses, at any level, tend towards draining the subject of adventurous excitement, but they also provide an understanding of the tradition and the immense heritage and inheritance that is its history. They also, by forcing the confrontation with other perspectives and other ways of articulation of positions, increase the ability to think in a philosophical manner by filling the philosophical tool box.
And if philosophy thrives on critical analysis, then participating in rigorous dialogues with other perspectives and other ways of philosophizing, both serves to widen one's own thinking and to help clarify one's one positions. At various levels of sophistication, this is what happens daily here.
Welcome to Philforum!

John
