Caleb Chapman: Best one-line definition of philosophy: Thinking about thinking.There are three branches of philosophy:(1) Metaphilosophy (thinking about philosophy itself),(2) Pure Philosophy (thinking about a related group of concepts, namely: meaning, reasoning, knowing, being, and doing),(3) Applied Philosophy (applying the thoughts and methods of pure philosophy to all other things, but mainly, in practice, to such things as religion, science, politics, art, animals and the natural environment, war, law, and so on, with, in theory, no limits)....Show more
Gennie Shauer: Philosophy is Investigation of the nature, causes, or principles of reality, know! ledge, or values, based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods.Philosophy can be divided into five branches which address the following questions:Metaphysics: Study of Existence What's out there? Epistemology: Study of Knowledge How do I know about it? Ethics: Study of Action What should I do? Politics: Study of Force What actions are permissible? Esthetics: Study of Art What can life be like?...Show more
Carolynn Testani: Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Stevie Goldey: The original meaning of the word philosophy comes from the Greek roots philo- meaning "love" and -sophos, or "wisdom." When someone studies philosophy they want to understand how and why people do certain things and how to live a good life. In other words, they want to know the meaning of life. Add the suffix -er to philosophy, and you get a word for someone whose job it is to think these big thoughts.
