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.
