PHILOSOPHY

Philos (love) + Sophia (wisdom) = Philosophy (love of wisdom)

My college philosophy professor said it well:

Philosophy isn’t about the answers.

Good philosophy asks good QUESTIONS.

Philosophy = thinking about the “Big Questions” in life, such as:

  • What can actually be known for certain?
  • What is the nature of reality?
  • What is everything made of?
  • Do we have free will?
  • What is the meaning of life?
  • Is there any such thing as right and wrong?
  • What is time? Is it constant?
  • What is love? freedom? beauty?
  • Is there a God?
  • Is there life after death?
  • Can machines think? Do animals feel?
  • What is a good life? What is happiness?

The fun of philosophy is THINKING, and discussing your thoughts with others.
Since most philosophical questions cannot be answered with any real certainty, they are open to debate. This makes them excellent fodder for anyone who enjoys a good mental challenge or a lively oral debate.

Reading the arguments presented by philosophers from ancient Greece to the current decade can be both enlightening and entertaining.
