This is what annoys me about most philosophy teaching. They don't actually teach philosophy: they teach the history of philosophy, with a person-centric focus.
Imagine if math teaching, say, was the same, with as much time spent memorizing who came up with each theorem as the theorems and their application themselves.
This may vary with country. I know philosophy teaching in the UK isn't like this, but have heard it as a criticism of the way it is taught in America (A friend doing a semester abroad at a US institution once despaired that the final exam included the question "when was Descartes meditations published").
