"Philosophy is an activity: it is a way of thinking about certain sorts of question. Its most distinctive feature is its use of logical argument. Philosophers typically deal in arguments: they either invent them, criticize other people’s, or do both. They also analyse and clarify concepts."
Philosophy is a systematic study of general and fundamental questions concerning topics like existence, knowledge, mind, reason, language, and value. It is a rational and critical inquiry that reflects on its methods and assumptions.
"There exists a definite misunderstanding between scientists and philosophers; a misunderstanding which might easily have been avoided had philosophers possessed a proper realisation of their inevitable limitations when discussing scientific matters."
Philosophy"Philosophy is lifes dry-nurse, who can take care of us -- but not suckle us."
Philosophy"Much can be left unstated. But if nothing is discredited, it is not philosophy."
Philosophy"The philosopher must be above all a free man, and not a slave of the passions."
Philosophy"Se moquer de la philosophie c’est vraiment philosophe."
Philosophy"Jetzt wage ich es, der Weisheit selber nachzugehen und selber Philosoph zu sein; früher verehrte ich die Philosophen."
