What is Philosophy?
- Philosophy is not a science but the art of thinking.
- Sciences are based on observation.
- Philosophy is far more abstract and is based on thinking skills.
- Philosophical thinking is structured, with rules and regulations.
- It is thus different from random everyday thinking.
- However sometimes there might be a situation that requires you to sit down and think.
- In such situations philosophical capabilities can help to come up with an answer.
- Philosophy questions everything.
- Nothing is "true" just because it is.
- Sciences are built off of the rules that everything occurs within reason and that the same factors produce the same outcomes.
- However, in philosophy there are no rules and thus everything should be questioned.
