Through philosophy, a man who continues his mental journey to find answers to epistemological, ontological, acciological and ethical problems can open certain areas that he needs. In addition to the fact that many stages of life need new fields, education is one of the topics that needs to be re-thought every day with anomalies such as social change, technological innovation and even pandemic. Social information, which is one of the most important parts of education, is a very complex area that, by nature, contains many fields in its content. Teachers who grow up in the field are the subjects they will teach, the forms of teaching, their goals, their professional development, etc. They must be able to question and build their own intellectual infrastructure. The most important means to do this is the philosophy. In this context, the purpose of this research is to study the opinions of social information teachers candidates to justify the need for philosophy. For this purpose, 36 teachers candidates, selected by the purpose sample method, have been discussed in the established quality research model. A semi-configured interview form developed by the researcher was used for the conducted interviews. After the necessary validity and reliability measures, the data was analyzed by content analysis. The results of the analysis are presented in tables, interpreted and direct quotes containing the opinions of the research participants are also given under the relevant table. The views of teaching candidates to justify the need for philosophy are gathered under the main topics of thinking skills and professional development that contain certain codes and subjects. After the findings were presented around the area of the summer, recommendations for the teachers of social information were presented.
