Question

in other words ..philosophy is artistic mor than being scientific....there are no facts in it...everyone can create his own philosophy...it depends on how you feel things around you not how you understand them...it talks to human hearts not to their minds..bottom line is "philosophy has nothing to do with wisdom"

Answer 1

I disagree. The very name comes from two ancient Greek words: philos sophos, meaning, "The love of wisdom.
Ideas do not have to be identical with "facts", and how you "feel" about things results from how you "see" or "understand" them.
Science deals with "facts"; philosophy is concerned with this:
"Philosophy studies the fundamental nature of existence, of man, and of man's relationship to existence. … In the realm of cognition, the special sciences are the trees, but philosophy is the soil which makes the forest possible.
—Ayn Rand, Philosophy, Who Needs It (p. 2)"

(Strangely enough, I'm not at all fond of Ayn Rand's philosophy, but I have to admit that she came up with a pretty good definition
"A philosophy is a comprehensive system of ideas about human nature and the nature of the reality we live in. It is a guide for living, because the issues it addresses are basic and pervasive, determining the course we take in life and how we treat other people.
Philosophy is based on rational argument and appeal to facts. The history of the modern sciences begins with philosophical inquiries, and the scientific method of experimentation and proof remains an instance of the general approach that a philosopher tries to bring to a question: one that is logical and rigorous. However, while today the sciences focus on specialized inquiries in restricted domains, the questions addressed by philosophy remain the most general and most basic, the issues that underlie the sciences and stand at the base of a world-view.

Philosophy raises some of the deepest and widest questions there are. Addressing the issues in each branch of philosophy requires integrating everything one knows about reality (metaphysics) or humanity (epistemology, ethics, politics, and aesthetics). Proposing reasonable positions in philosophy is therefore a difficult task. Honest philosophers have often disagreed about key issues, and dishonest ones have been able to slip their own positions into the mix as well. For this reason, there is not one philosophy worldwide, as there is one physics. Instead, there are many philosophies.

Over the course of history, philosophers have offered entire systems that pulled together positions in each of the branches of philosophy. Aristotle, the father of logic, authored such a system in ancient times, teaching that we could know reality and achieve happiness. In more modern times, philosophers such as John Locke and Immanuel Kant have written systematic accounts of their thought. Most modern philosophers, however, have specialized in one area or another within philosophy, although some schools of philosophy have emerged that are marked by the general positions of their members on a variety of issues and the members' shared admiration for a chain of historical figures. These schools have included Pragmatism, Logical Positivism, and Existentialism, but are little-known outside of university classes in modern philosophy.

Today philosophic issues often enter public life through political or social movements, some religious in inspiration, such as Christian conservatism, and others secular, such as left-wing environmentalism and socialism. The ideas of such movements are often called ideologies. That term, "ideology," is another name for the systems of ideas we have been talking about. Though the focus of ideological movements is political, their political beliefs tend to be rooted in shared conceptions of reality, human nature, and values."

Answer 2

Philosophy is both artistic and scientific. Wisdom has everything to do with it, i think philosophy is based on observations and thoughts with loads of logic. The heart is in the mind, as an organ it pumps blood, but used in the way you use it it represents the decent side of the mind.

Answer 3

Great Philosophers did actually have ideas and would try them out to see if they were indeed true - such as when the great Philosopher Pythagerous discovered the distance from the earth to the moon.
He measured it in footsteps between two cities and calculate the correct angle, and thus the length.

We have 'scientists' these days, not philosophers. So modern-day philosophy is based in opinions, rather than ideas. But original philosophy was based on ideas.

Hope this helps

Answer 4

I disagree. I think philosophy is more cerebral than emotional. It deals with ideas more so than feelings. It is a science of thinking about thinking. Yes it is an art in a sense, it is within the humanities but art isn't always an expression of emotion (unless you're an expressionist painter etc). Sometimes it is an exploration of thoughts, ideas, theories. Sometimes it is a statement. Philosophy investigates the meanings behind things. It may theorize about emotion but it is inherently unemotional. Your mind, not your heart is engaged in philosophy.

Answer 5

False. There are no retrograde orbits in this solar system. That's a relic from an earth centered solar system. Put the sun back at the center where it belongs and this problem will take care of itself. I love how people act as though the laws of physics can be overturned with a thumbs down. That's pretty hysterical.

Answer 6

Initially Philosophy was based on ideas, but nowadays the so called philosophers only debate and agree or disagree with what others centuries ago said...

Answer 7

I disagree. I think philosophy is based on ideas developed through one's education and experience.

Answer 8

i think philosophy is more scientific it has his own theories, problems .because feelings are for poetry literature.philosophy is about everything that's why some problems in philosophy became the theories in mathematics...

Answer 9

i don't agree. i believe philosophy is ideas ,something scientific rather than artistic..But also feelings inspire ideas, isn't that right?
