Study Notes
Understanding Philosophy
- Philosophy is the pursuit of wisdom and the critical thinking about fundamental questions of existence, reality, knowledge, values, and ethics.
- The word 'philosophy' comes from the Greek words 'philos,' meaning love, and 'sophia,' meaning wisdom.
- Philosophy is different from a body of knowledge in that it involves critical thinking, reflection, and questioning, rather than just accepting established knowledge.
- A philosopher is a person who engages in philosophical thought and inquiry, often seeking answers to fundamental questions about existence, reality, and human experience.
- 'Pilosopo' is not a recognized term in the context of philosophy; 'philosopher' is the correct term.
