- Definition - Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence,knowledge,values,reason,mind and language.)
- Philosophy begets science.
- Philosophy is very important topic as it defines how we acquire knowledge, how we compute and process everything.
- Philosophy shouldnât be skipped IMO because to understand how world works, we must have concrete knowledge and philosophy is a means for that knowledge covering Epistemology,meta - knowledge , logic, mathematics, social concepts etc.
- Philosophy helps us generalize our thoughts, concepts ..helps us transform our model of the world we know.
Abstract
Philosophy is a sort of battle between the known and the unknown, between the adult and the child, the old and the new, the rational and the emotional, the revealer and the concealed, the conscious and the unconscious.
Philosophy is the ultimate purpose of life
Quote
Without philosophy life would be a meaningless
Ultimately, our inquiry of knowledge is unlimited(as it should be rather than accept what is said), we will never likely reach our maximum knowledge potential, as it is simply impossible . The universe will die before , Big Crunch.
Should we jump off from this infinite treadmill(quest of acquisition of knowledge or is it the purpose of life ? (No regrets there tbh)
The search for Compound Knowledge will be fulfilling one which includes âPhilosophyâ.
Quote
To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can still do for those who study it. ~ Bertrand Russell
- Philosophy is different from other ways of addressing fundamental questions (such as mysticism, myth, Religion) by being critical and generally systematic by relying on Rational Argument .
- It involves logical analysis and clarification of ideas, concepts.
- Philosophy â Greek Word â Philosophia â âWisdom of wordsâ !
