Importance Of Philosophy

What is philosophy?

Philosophy, when put into light terms, is simply the love of wisdom. When really examining what philosophy is, we see that it is the study of many sub-disciplines of general and fundamental problems including things like ethics, existentialism, logic and many more.

Why is philosophy important?

Philosophy is something that helps us understand the universe as we perceive it. Many philosophers use the “tools” philosophy gave them to live the examined life and help people also live the examined life. You may be wondering what the examined life is? The examined life would be a life lived by examining and questioning everything around you. Without questioning and without that wonder in life, Life and philosophy would be meaningless.

Have you ever wondered; how do I want to live my life? Or What gives my life meaning? Well then fasten your seatbelt folks this is going to get bumpy. Philosophy is never clear cut when trying to find an answer which is why I think many people aren't really a fan of philosophy. It helps us develop our critical thinking skills which can very much so help us in our future endeavors. For me It gives meaning to the universe and helps me reason about things like the existence of a god, or many gods. Throughout this blog I will be going through different aspects of Philosophy and analyzing it to the best of my abilities and hopefully get you interested in philosophy if you aren't already. Let's live the examined life!
