摘要：Philosophy, originated from the Ancient Greek φιλοσοφ.α (philosophia), which literally means 'love of wisdom', can be a challenging theme to postgraduate students in any higher education context. The challenge might double for international students whose philosophical ground acquired in their home country is incompatible with the philosophical knowledge taught in their new learning environment. Despite the unavoidable discrepancies, philosophical modules offered in higher education may converge if the learning goals are established as to develop a more universal set of thinking skills. This article is an attempt to select the most suitable thinking skill framework to make a contrastive evaluation between a philosophical module in an Asian university and the one in a Western university. Thereafter, several suggestions regarding the module contents and the methods of delivery will be made in light of thinking skills enhancement so that the thinking skills development can be fostered via philosophical modules in higher education
