YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK, DARLING!

Philosophy concerns itself with what is the best way to live (ethics), what sorts of things really exist and what are their true natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

The word itself is derived from the Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophía: love of wisdom), compounded from φίλος (phílos: friend, or lover) and σοφία (sophía: wisdom).

The definition of philosophy is itself a theme of philosophy; accordingly, there are many ways of describing it. Some encyclopedias have described philosophy in terms of intellectual inquiry and the use of critical analysis and reasoning, as well as dialogue or introspection, to solve intractable and fundamental problems. [4] Others state that philosophy examines the process of inquiry itself. Still others argue that philosophy is continuous with the best practices in every intellectual field. The situation is made more complicated because contemporary Western philosophy is divided into continental and analytic traditions.

Although the word "philosophy" originates in the Western tradition, many figures in the history of the East have addressed similar topics in similar ways. These inquiries are described as Eastern philosophy.

God exists (you know he dose and so dose your evil professor).
God created good beings with free wills. So yes God created the potential for evil but prohibited it and his will was contrary to it, so in short no. God is not responsible for evil.
Yes, good is what we have to do to go to heaven. However, no man or women or child is capable of doing good (as God sees it.) because we are dead and accursed in our father Adam unable to gain heaven and or please God in any way.
But there is some very good news. Jesus Christ (God) lived a sinless life (good-able to good to heaven.) and died shedding his sinless blood to pay for the sins of the whole world. Yes that’s the sins of everyone. You and me and Hitler too. But in order to gain the salvation of our souls which he died to give as a gift to us we must repent (turn: as in turn from whatever else you trust in for salvation to Jesus) and believe in Jesus as Messiah (Christ) and God and trust in him and not what we consider good but 100% in Jesus' virgin birth, his deity and spinelessness, and in his physical resurrection from a physical death. If you have a hard time believing the above you have just to ask god to give you faith and help your unbelief become belief. Once you believe simply ask God to forgive you of your sins. Nothing further if you are sincere he will answer you in such a way that you will know that you are saved. If you want more info on this read the book of Romans in the bible or as a born again Christian of any denomination, fundamentalist independent Baptists I have found very knowledgeable concerning the bible so check out your local phone book. God bless and have a great day.

before everything, is this for a college Philosophy direction? by using fact your record of categories does not seem to signify so. besides, regardless of if this is for a Philosophy classification, i could advise something like an argumentative or assessment assessment essay on empiricism vs. rationalism, idealism vs materialism, or theism vs. atheism. they are interesting matters, and you will no longer have any hardship looking supplies.
