or does it even exist?

If philosophy doesn't exist, does that mean that my philosophy professor also doesn't exist?
Please don't tell me that he doesn't! I got an A in his course.

If Philosophy did not exist you would not have been able to come up with the question in the first place. It exists in thoughts, perceptions and ideas. In reality?
Yes. There is little difference between perception and reality. Reality per se... Hang on... I'm getting off on a tangent here... sorry!
True or false? What may be true for me may be false for you, but the converse is also true.
It exists. Yes
True or false... that is an excellent question. To adapt a line from Shakespeare... To be (true) or not to be (false), that is the question.
This will never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. In philosophy, the question is more important than the answer.

Philosophy exists; the true or false is determined by the individual.

There are many kinds of philosophy 1.analytic 2. moral 3. natural 4. ordinary-language 5. Philosophy of life. People spend their whole lives thinking about these. So there is probable more theory than fact.

Indeed it exists.
Everyone has a philosophy of existence, whether they realize it or not.
Everyone has a view on the meaning of life (even if the statement is that it is meaningless - that is a philosophical statement), and what constitutes what is important and true in existence.

There is no true or false answer to philosophy because philosophy itself is no answer. It is a system of questions and that is all there is to it.

I question the fact that philosophy exists --> therefore philosophy exists.

Philosophy starts with the question. You've asked, then: true.
