wat is philosophy?

Answer 1

Philosophy is the asking of a question.
What that question is in relation to, can be anything you like.
From the creation of the X Isotope in the radiation of the Sun, the creation and purpose of Man and right the way down to "What can I do, with the $5,000.00 that Grandpa left me in his will".
Whether that question, has a clear and defined answer. Is a question in itself.

Answer 2

In the simplest terms, philosophy is the attempt to understand the world — but at a very high level, which is what tends to make it abstract. Philosophy is more concerned with seeing the forest than with knowing the details of individual trees (that's the job of the sciences). Yet it's also concerned with making sure that we've got our intellectual and ethical foundations well-laid. After all, badly-laid foundations won't do a good job of supporting anything that's laid upon them.

Answer 3

Philosophy is the attempt by man to reason about how he knows (epistemology), how he is (ontology), how he behaves (ethics), and how he reasons (logic).

Saint Paul, among others, have warned us not to be spoiled nor misled nor deceived by a philosophy which is not grounded in Truth, God, Good.

A modern philosopher who is not difficult to understand, at least on a basic level, O. M. Aivanhov, wrote "A Philosophy of Universality."

Some major philosophers are discussed, briefly, in "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet. "The Path of Virtue," by another modern teacher, discusses ethics from a spiritual perspective.
