Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. It is distinguished from other ways of addressing fundamental questions (such as mysticism, myth, or the arts) by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. The word "Philosophy" comes from the Greek φιλοσοφία [philosophia], which literally means "love of wisdom".

How do I get over the difficulty of expressing my philosophy?
Q. Ok so, I believe I do very well in expressing my theories and critique of philosophy on paper, since I have time to organize my thoughts and make them more precise, but, I have trouble in expressing my theory and critique of philosophy verbally. To put it simply, I draw a bit of a blank on how I want to say something or what I want to say. My question is: How can I learn to express more of my philosophies verbally? I got a puzzle for you... So if I were to ask you what the definition of Justice was... what do you think would take longer to explain what Justice is (in all totality)? A series of examples or a definition? Do you know how many examples could fit under the application of a definition. Examples only express so much, so I… [cont.]

A. Firs at all, I take myself as 'a philosopher' (so-so) but I'm an anti-western philosophical person; however I don't claim that the last is a trash, because I got some meanings about that philosophy (I'm a philosophy graduate hehehe). I think that the purpose of the western philosophy is to make you a skeptic one by force like the preachers at the medieval time and nowadays by audience. For instance, Descartes in his Discourse on the Method attempts to arrive at a fundamental set of principles that one can know as true without any doubt. To achieve this, he employs a method called methodological skepticism: he rejects any idea that can be doubted, and then reestablishes them in order to acquire a firm foundation for 'genuine' knowledge. For… [cont.]

What is the link between Starbucks and philosophy?
Q. I often hear people joking around that people who like philosophy go to Starbucks, or people who study philosophy will end up working there. (or some other "funny" joke that links Starbucks or even coffee in general, to philosophy) Thinking about that, I'm now wondering where that even came from. What is the connection between coffee or Starbucks, and philosophy. Or maybe not just philosophy but perhaps there are other disciplines that are linked to Starbucks? has anyone heard of any? Art History maybe? idk Can someone give a serious explanation as to what the origins of these jokes are. Just curious.

A. This is just a joke insult! To most art grads... It means the only job your degree is going to get you is work in a fast food cafe.

How important was Socrates' philosophy at the time when he lived?
Q. How important was his philosophy at the time when he lived? Did he influence the people of Athens when he lived, or was it like many 100 years later people outside Athens and Greece got to know about Socrates? And how does his philosophy play a role today - can we find traces of his philosophy in today's society? Thank you for answers.

Quotes regarding Philosophy and philosophers:

Sourced

  • The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.
  • Philosophy is not the owl of Minerva that takes flight after history has been realized in order to celebrate its happy ending; rather, philosophy is subjective proposition, desire, and praxis that are applied to the event.
  • What characterizes philosophy is this "step back" from actuality into possibility—the attitude best rendered by Adorno's and Horkheimer's motto quoted by Fredric Jameson: "Not Italy itself is given here, but the proof that it exists."
  • "In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is – i.e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the nature of the universe in which he acts – i.e. he needs metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, which means: philosophy. He cannot escape from this need; his only alternative is whether the philosophy guiding him is to be chosen by his mind or by chance." Ayn Rand, "Philosophy, who needs it?".
