I can't remember who said "the unexamined life isn't worth living" but I think it's true to a large extent. Can you really appreciate existence if you don't have a sense of wonder about it? If you aren't curious? If you don't have questions? Between science & theology, philosophy is the art of thinking: about thought, feeling, life, the nature and origin of all things, examining existence itself.

I think curiosity, the desire to know more, to learn is vital to living a full life. Some people never really think about anything. They just go through the motions of their lives, like zombies in a perpetual sleep state. We need to delve deeper. Life is as meaningful as we make it. Never lose your sense of wonder, your imagination, your childlike curiosity. That is what makes life magical. That is where creativity, brilliance and greatness begin.

It isn't. What has philosophy ever gotten us? Your stupid question and the controller for the Wii. Philosophy doesn't really help us makes sense of the world around us! Logic does that. Philosophy isn't used to find answers, it's used to ask dumb questions like yours. We wonder about philosophical things all day and never find an answer. Then we just get confused because now we have a bunch of questions that don't make any sense. If you want to understand the world, read an encyclopedia and stop asking questions without answers.

nicely, no be certain comes from loss of disagreement of problems so it particularly is stable to have philosophical debates now and then as long they carry about approximately progression. Philosophy for the sake of it , on the different hand, is pointless. I undergo in concepts being in college as a working laptop or pc technological awareness significant and this youngster replaced into in a lot of my training. He'd in many situations initiate subjects or make contributions to them in philosophy classification in a great way yet in our pc technological awareness training he'd initiate pointless philosophical debates relating to the pc languages and algorithms that never amounted to something and his rants took up like 20 minutes or extra. In time he replaced into brushed off and no-one had to artwork with him because of the fact he never particularly contributed something different than objections.

Define philosophy. If you mean any general thought about your purpose or motivation, then without it, you would sit in a room and die. If you mean a systematic study of thought, perhaps it isn't important at all to you. You could go your whole life without giving it serious thought.

Philosophy is only important to those who seek and enjoy truth, and even then it is a rare treat.

Philosophy is something you just do. Like breatheing. It's jsut the way your brain is made up. You ask yourself questions all the time.

Because it gives a candid and honest view of the state of human spirituality, culture, ethics and morality. The book "Another Thought" by OC Tross answers this question fully.

To try to understand our actions, desires and motivations for what we do in life. Really, it's an attempt to make sense of the world.
