Philosophy is not a body of knowledge but an activity: the activity of seeking a
reflective understanding of ourselves and of the natural and social worlds we
inhabit. We do philosophy by critically examining the assumptions made and the
conclusions drawn by natural and social scientists, writers, historians and thinkers of
all kinds. At an early stage of reflection, we may simply seek to integrate the
various perspectives into a broader understanding. But the exciting, and more
difficult, part of philosophical inquiry arises when it is found that this integration
cannot be carried out completely. For example, how can free will, which is typically
assumed in ethical deliberation, be reconciled with the causal determinism that
seems to be characteristic of natural science?
Philosophy is the study of the general and fundamental nature of reality, existence,
knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.[1][2][3] The Ancient Greek word
(philosophia) was probably coined by Pythagoras[4] and literally means
"love of wisdom" or "friend of wisdom".[5][6][7][8][9] Philosophy has been divided
into many sub-fields. It has been divided chronologically (e.g., ancient and modern);
by topic (the major topics being epistemology, logic, metaphysics, ethics, and
aesthetics); and by style (e.g., analytic philosophy).
A philosophy is a comprehensive system of ideas about human nature and the
nature of the reality we live in. It is a guide for living, because the issues it
addresses are basic and pervasive, determining the course we take in life and how
we treat other people.
Quite literally, the term "philosophy" means, "love of wisdom." In a broad sense,
philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand
fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their
relationships to the world and to each other. As an academic discipline philosophy is
much the same. Those who study philosophy are perpetually engaged in asking,
answering, and arguing for their answers to lifes most basic questions. To make
such a pursuit more systematic academic philosophy is traditionally divided into
major areas of study.
Philosophy is an academic discipline that exercises reason and logic in an attempt
to understand reality and answer fundamental questions about knowledge, life,
morality and human nature.
