Philosophy (as a process) is a search for understanding. Its result is a statement of what we think we understand.

I once read a philosophy instructor say philosophy is "thought engineering." Makes sense to me.

I think Stephen Hawkings said philosophy was just the rearrangment of language or words. Or something to that effect.

AVE
What do you think of the following: Philosophy an interrelationship between the following points: ___(a) a social activity, an individual urge and an intellectual process ___(b) characterized by a specific method ___(c) of understanding the reality as whole and its fundamental principles ___(d) unified into a rationally and linguistically ideal system ___(e) influencing human behaviors, attitudes and actions. There are as many philosophies as philosophers and none of them is right or wrong in the long run. AVE |
