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".

Philosophy. is a lot clearer when you narrow down your field of study since it's hard to track what they're saying unless you break down the arguments into very distinct components. It's very similar to programming in that sense. ...

What colleges offer a degree in philosophy?
Q. I am interested in philosophy and i was wondering if any colleges offer a major in philosophy. And if so, then what are some of the top schools.
Asked by ModestZeppelin22 - Wed Dec 12 10:18:19 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Are you joking... of course! There are over 800 schools in the country that offer philosophy as a major. There are now two sets of rankings of philosophy departments in the United States: Brian Leiter s Philosophical Gourmet (PG) and Academic Analytics Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index (FSPI). Only two universities are listed in both rankings: Princeton and Rutgers. The rest are entirely different. FSPI ranks Michigan State first; PG ranks NYU first. Academic Analytics Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index 1. Michigan State University 2. CUNY Graduate School 2. Princeton University 4. University of Virginia 5. Rutgers 6. University of California San Diego 7. Pennsylvania State University 8. The University of Texas at Austin 9.… [cont.]

What type of philosophy should I study to be a lawyer?
Q. Someone sugjested I study philosophy because I want to be a lawyer. Exactly what type of philosophy should I study?
Asked by zzack9 - Thu Jun 12 19:06:05 2008 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As several others here have said, study what interests you. I have been told innumerable times by innumerable professors and legal professionals that a curriculum that fosters the development of your writing, public speaking, and ability to create and counter arguments is the best one to follow. If you decide to study philosophy, your school will likely have a "Pre-law" track in the major; however, nearly every philosophy class will build the skills that I mentioned. As a philosophy major, I will tell you the ways in which philosophy has helped me with each of those skills; you can take from it what you will. Even in your very first introductory philosophy class (ethics, logic, etc.), you will read. And read, and read. Some of the… [cont.]

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?".
