1. Jenny Teichmann and Katherine C.
Evans, Philosophy: A Beginner's
Guide (Blackwell Publishing, 1999), p.
1: "Philosophy is a study of problems
which are ultimate, abstract and very
general. These problems are
concerned with the nature of
existence, knowledge, morality,
reason and human purpose."
2. A.C. Grayling, Philosophy 1: A Guide
through the Subject (Oxford
University Press, 1998), p. 1: "The aim
of philosophical inquiry is to gain
insight into questions about
knowledge, truth, reason, reality,
meaning, mind, and value."
3. Anthony Quinton, in T. Honderich
(ed.), The Oxford Companion to
Philosophy (Oxford University Press,
1995), p. 666: "Philosophy is
rationally critical thinking, of a more
or less systematic kind about the
general nature of the world
(metaphysics or theory of existence),
the justification of belief
(epistemology or theory of
knowledge), and the conduct of life
(ethics or theory of value). Each of
the three elements in this list has a
non-philosophical counterpart, from
which it is distinguished by its
explicitly rational and critical way of
proceeding and by its systematic
nature. Everyone has some general
conception of the nature of the world
in which they live and of their place in
it. Metaphysics replaces the
unargued assumptions embodied in
such a conception with a rational and
organized body of beliefs about the
world as a whole. Everyone has
occasion to doubt and question
beliefs, their own or those of others,
with more or less success and
without any theory of what they are
doing. Epistemology seeks by
argument to make explicit the rules
of correct belief formation. Everyone
governs their conduct by directing it
to desired or valued ends. Ethics, or
moral philosophy, in its most
inclusive sense, seeks to articulate, in
rationally systematic form, the rules
or principles involved."
