Does learning how to use a screwdriver make someone a better person?

Perhaps it would help them express their goodness if they, say, use it to charitably repair their neighbor's toaster for them. But they could just as easily stab them in the neck with it.

Colonialism, Stalinism, national socialism, totalitarianism, racism, sexism, violent religious fundamentalism - all of these have their own philosophical underpinnings, and were/are used to inflict great harm to others.

Philosophy is a tool. Studying it will make you more adept at using it - but *how* you use it is far more important.
